A uniquely square, high-resolution, high-speed, 4.0" display with optional touchscreen for the Raspberry Pi – it's hip to be square! Available with or without touch (select before adding to your cart)
HyperPixel 4.0 Square has all the great features of the standard HyperPixel 4.0 - a crisp, brilliant IPS display, optional touchscreen, and high-speed DPI interface - it's just more square!
This square version of HyperPixel 4.0 is great for custom interfaces and control panels, and works really well for Pico-8 games. Everything is pre-soldered and ready to go, just pop it onto your Pi, run our installer, and away you go!
40-pin female header included to boost height for Pi B+, 2, 3, 3B+ and 4
Standoffs included to securely attach to your Pi
Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models
One-line installer
HyperPixel 4.0 Square uses a high-speed DPI interface, allowing it to shift 5x more pixel data than the usual SPI interface that these small Pi displays normally use. It has a60 FPS frame rateand a resolution of approximately 254 pixels per inch (720x720px) on its 4.0" display. The display can show18-bits of colour(262,144 colours).
The touchscreen variant is capacitive touch, that's more sensitive and responsive to touch than a resistive touch display, and it'scapable of multi-touch!
Please note (Important!)
When installing HyperPixel 4.0 Square onto your Pimake sure not to press down on the screen surface! Hold the board by its edges and wiggle it to mate with the extended header (or GPIO header). Also take carenot to pull on the edges of the glass displaywhen removing your HyperPixel.
Compatibility
It'll work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W. If you're using it with a larger Pi then use the extra 40-pin header that's included to boost it up to the required height. If you're using a Pi Zero or Pi Zero W then just pop it straight onto the GPIO.
The included standoff kit allows you to mount your HyperPixel 4.0 Square safely and securely to your Pi. Just screw them into the posts on the underside of the HyperPixel 4.0 Square PCB and then secure with screws through the mounting holes on your Pi.
Software
We've put together a one-line installer to configure your Pi properly for HyperPixel 4.0 Square and to enable the touchscreen. Note that you'll need another display, keyboard, and mouse to install the software, or you could do it remotely over SSH if you follow our guide on how to set your Pi up headlessly.
Open a terminal, and type curl https://get.pimoroni.com/hyperpixel4 | bashto run the one-line installer and set your HyperPixel 4.0 up.
The HyperPixel 4.0 Square Touch in the main photo here is on its side, and that the slightly narrower and slightly wider bezels are usually at the bottom and top respectively, although there's very little difference in size (5.5mm for the left and right sides, 4.5 for the top, and 6.5mm for the bottom). The Non-touch is also on its side, so the wider bezel is usually at the bottom, although because the display is square you can use it any way round!
Dimensions: Touch: 84x84x9.5mm, Non-touch: 75x80x8.9mm (WxHxD, depth includes header and display).
