round lcd display raspberry pi brands

The official Raspberry Pi 7” Touchscreen allows you to add touch inputs to your programs, creating a new way to interact with your projects. It also makes for a fantastic desktop screen for day-to-day use of your Raspberry Pi. Wrap it in one of our screen cases and take it anywhere – events, Raspberry Jams or even just your friends house for a coding evening!

For smaller projects, LCD and ePaper displays are a fun way to add a visual element to your projects. With simple code and wiring, they’re great for projects that require text, menus and navigation.

HyperPixel 2.1 Round has all the great features of our other HyperPixels - crisp, brilliant IPS display, touchscreen, and high-speed DPI interface—it"s just rounder! You can use it with any Raspberry Pi with a 40 pin header* but it works particularly nicely with the Pi Zero footprint - we"ve designed it so you can mount a Zero neatly behind it, so you can"t see the Pi when you look at it from the front.

This version of HyperPixel would be great for custom interfaces and control panels - mounted on a wall it would make a really neat, minimalist smart home controller or a stylish "what"s playing" display for your sound system. Everything is pre-soldered and ready to go, just pop it onto your Pi, install our software, and away you go!

* Please note that standoffs and booster headers are not included with Hyperpixel Round - scroll down or check out the extras tabs for some links. You will need a booster header if you want to use Hyperpixel Round with a full size Pi!

HyperPixel 2.1 Round 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 a 60 FPS frame rate and a resolution of approximately 229 pixels per inch (480x480px) on its 2.1" display. The display can show 18-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"s capable of multi-touch!**

Hyperpixel Round will work with any 40-pin version of the Pi, including Pi Zero and Pi Zero W. If you"re using it with a full-size Pi then you"ll need a booster header to raise it up over the Pi"s USB ports and extended standoffs if you"d like to bolt it in place. If you"re using a Pi Zero or Pi Zero W you won"t need a booster header, but we have some special short standoffs that will let you attach everything securely together in an extra slim package.

If you"re using standoffs to fasten your Hyperpixel and your Pi together, just screw them into the posts on the underside of the HyperPixel PCB and then secure with screws through the mounting holes on your Pi.

Please note: when installing HyperPixel 2.1 Round onto your Pi make sure not to press down on the screen surface. We recommend putting the screen face down on a soft surface and gently wiggling the Pi to mate with the extended header (or GPIO header). If you need to remove your Hyperpixel, take care not to pull on the edges of the glass display - it"s best to hold on to the rectangular PCB. As the glass edges of this display overhang the PCB they"re quite exposed, so it"s worth being extra careful with them.

With this version of HyperPixel, we"ve separated the display drivers and touch drivers which should hopefully make it easier to incorporate touch interfaces into your own programs. To download and install the display drivers:

Note that you"ll need another display, keyboard, and mouse to install the software, or you could do it remotely over SSH if you set your Pi up headlessly.

HyperPixel uses basically all of the GPIO pins o communicate with the Pi (including the standard I2C pins) so it"s not generally possible to use it with other HATs and devices that connect via the GPIO...

...but we have provided an alternate I2C interface broken out on the back that will let you use I2C devices (like sensor breakouts) at the same time as HyperPixel. There are instructions how to set this up in our Hyperpixel 4.0 tutorial (scroll down to the bottom).

Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye includes major changes to how DPI display drivers work - a quick hack to get the screen working (with some loss of rotation/touch functionality) is to comment out dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d in boot/config.txt. We"re working on full support for Bullseye, but if you"re after an easy, fully featured Hyperpixel experience you should probably stick with Buster for now:

Once upon a time, maker projects were limited to using simple character displays or those salvaged from popular Nokias, largely due to cost. These days, a small OLED or LCD is available for just a few bucks. However, you can go fancier, and [Mr. Volt] does just that with an exploration of nice round displays.

Using round displays doesn’t have to be hard, with plenty of great products on the market. [Mr. Volt] goes through various options, from the cheap bare screens you can hook up to a microcontroller, to larger models designed for direct use with the Raspberry Pi or even straight HDMI inputs. Many are quite high resolution, and look particularly beautiful when driven with appropriate artwork.

However, there are a few tricks that come in handy when you’re going away from traditional rectangular screens. Screen mounts on some models may not be directly aligned with the center of the circular display, which can lead to results that look off if not accounted for.

It’s also important to remember that round displays are still driven like square displays, using Cartesian coordinates. Trying to use software with interface elements around the edges can be trying, as many end up rendered off-screen. Instead, circular displays are best used to display purpose-made content, rather than used with traditional software expecting a rectangular screen.

Fundamentally, round displays are a neat thing to have, as they allow for the construction of elegant projects that don’t have to abstract a circle with cheats like obscuring bezels or housings. Video after the break.

The Raspberry Pihas no shortage of retro gaming builds, but one of the most fun aspects is housing your build in the right case. In this project, created by maker and woodworker Mw33212, the Pi is housed inside of a beautiful hand-crafted wooden casing complete with two round LCD panels for displays.

This project is one of many that Mw33212 has created, most of which also feature custom wooden cases. Some of our favorites include this portable Pi-powered wooden projector project as well as this Raspberry Pi-based Atari-themed arcade system.

In this case, Mw33212 is using a Raspberry Pi 4 to run the retro gaming platform which seems to be capable of emulating the Nintendo 64. You could easily swap the Pi 4 out for something like a 3B+ or even a Zero depending on what you have on hand or prefer. In addition to the Pi, it also features four speakers for audio output, multiple monitor driver boards, a couple of fans for cooling, and most notably two 3.4-inch circular LCD panels with a resolution of 800 x 800px.

The retro gaming emulation can be handled by RetroPie or Lakka. Mw33212 goes on to verify the efficiency of the round LCD panels which, as it turns out, are not very effective for many games. For the most part, they’re usable for games in which the attention is focused on the center of the screen but anything that relies on icons in the corners is pretty much unplayable.

If you want to make a Raspberry Pi project like this for yourself or just get a better idea of how this one goes together, check out the original thread shared to Reddit for an in-depth look at its build process. Be sure to follow Mw33212 for more cool wooden Pi projects as well as any future updates to this one.

SB Components is back with another compact, full-color circular display — and this time it"s one you"re invited to touch as much as you like: the 1.28" Round LCD HAT for Raspberry Pi.

Designed for a range of use-cases — including weather displays, security systems, home automation, and multimedia projects — SB Components 1.28" Round LD Hat offers an eye-catching circular display on a board, which mounts to the top of a Raspberry Pi or compatible via the 40-pin general-purpose input/output (GPIO) header.

The display"s specifications are identical to SB Components"earlier RoundyPi and RoundyFi boards, designed by Om Singh: a 1.28" diameter, 240×240 resolution that is cropped to make the finished round image, and 65,000 colors — though this time around it can be operated in 4,000 and 262,000 color modes too.SB Components" RoundyPi and RoundyFi now have a HAT-based successor, boasting touch capabilities.
