Description

The latest Raspberry Pi 5 now comes with a pair of FPC connectors, in the space formerly occupied by the four-pole jack and camera connector. These are four-lane MIPI interfaces, using the same higher-density pinout found on various generations of Compute Module I/O board and they are bi-directional (transceiver) interfaces, meaning that each one can connect either to a CSI-2 camera or to a DSI display! You also should try using two DSI displays with the new MIPI interfaces.

The FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cable is designed for connecting a DSI (Display Serial Interface) display to a Raspberry Pi 5. It features a 15-way connector with a 1mm pitch connecting to the DSI display and a 22-way connector with a 0.5mm pitch connecting to the Raspberry Pi 5. It plays a crucial role in establishing a reliable connection between the Raspberry Pi 5 and the DSI display, enabling users to display graphics and visual information in their Raspberry Pi 5-based projects.
