Waveshare has introduced an 11.6-inch touchscreen LCD with in-cell technology and 1768 × 828 resolution. The display comes with an IPS panel, a 10-point capacitive touchscreen, and supports HDMI and Type-C interfaces. It includes brightness control through the OSD menu and DDC/CI software. The screen offers a 178° viewing angle and 72% NTSC color gamut, delivering 300cd/m² brightness.
While we haven’t yet covered such a large screen with in-cell technology, we previously reviewed the Elecrow CrowVi VF156T, a 15.6-inch ultra-thin IPS touchscreen display. This portable display features mini HDMI and USB-C input ports, making it compatible with various devices, including Windows 11 and Linux mini PCs, laptops, SBCs like the Raspberry Pi 5, and smartphones that support USB-C with DisplayPort Alt mode. Other touchscreen displays with HDMI and/or USB-C input include Desklab ultrathin 15.6-inch display, DFRobot 7-inch display, and many others.

The in-cell technology embeds touch sensors directly within the display layer of LCD or OLED panels, removing the need for a separate touch layer. This integration leads to thinner and lighter displays, enhances touch response speed and accuracy, and improves image quality by eliminating the extra layer’s interference. Additionally, it can reduce power consumption since there’s no need to power a separate touch sensor.
The 11.6-inch 1768×828 LCD provides driver-free touch functionality, supporting 10-point touch on all Raspberry Pi models with Raspberry Pi OS, and single-point touch on Ubuntu, Kali, and Windows 10 IoT.

I think the biggest advantage of the In-Cell touch display is its thinness. Waveshare’s touch screen has a total thickness of only 3.8mm, which looks very appealing!
