The HyperPixel 4.0 Touch is a high-resolution 4.0" IPS display with capacitive multi-touch that plugs directly onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header. With an 800×480 resolution at 60 FPS via the high-speed DPI interface, it delivers 5× more pixel throughput than typical SPI displays — perfect for building interfaces, dashboards, and compact media centres.
Everything comes fully assembled with no soldering required. The display is securely bonded to the PCB with custom cover glass and connects via a flush-mounted FPC cable. Just attach it to your Pi, run the one-line installer, and you're ready to go.
Key Features
- 4.0" IPS Display – Wide 160° viewing angles with 800×480 resolution (~235 PPI)
- 60 FPS via DPI – High-speed parallel interface for smooth performance
- Capacitive Multi-Touch – Responsive touch input, more accurate than resistive
- 18-Bit Colour – 262,144 colours with 500:1 contrast ratio
- Fully Assembled – No soldering; plug in and install software
- Custom Cover Glass – Durable, purpose-made glass overlay
- Standoff Kit Included – Secure mounting to your Pi
Specifications
- Display Size: 4.0" (86.4 × 51.8 mm active area)
- Resolution: 800 × 480 pixels
- Interface: DPI (high-speed parallel)
- Frame Rate: 60 FPS
- Colour Depth: 18-bit (262,144 colours)
- Contrast Ratio: 500:1
- Dimensions: 58.5 × 97 × 12 mm (W × H × D, including header and display)
Compatibility
- Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+
- Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W (plugs directly onto GPIO)
- 40-pin female header included for full-size Pi models (boosts height to clear ports)
Ideal For
- Custom touch interfaces and control panels
- Data dashboards and sensor displays
- Compact media centres and kiosks
- Portable Pi projects without external monitors
Package Contents
- 1× HyperPixel 4.0 Touch Display (fully assembled)
- 1× 40-Pin Female Header (for full-size Pi models)
- 1× Standoff Mounting Kit
Note: When installing, hold the board by its edges — do not press down on the screen surface. Uses all GPIO pins via DPI; the alternate I²C interface is broken out for advanced use.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Colour depth
- Colour depth describes how many different colours a display can show. A 65K-colour display can show about 65,000 colours, which is useful for icons, graphs, and simple full-colour interfaces but is less detailed than modern phone or computer screens.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- IPS
- IPS is a type of LCD panel that keeps colours and contrast more consistent when viewed from an angle. This matters for small displays that may be mounted in a dashboard, handheld project, or enclosure where the viewer is not always looking straight on.
- Multi-touch
- Multi-touch means the touchscreen can detect more than one finger contact at the same time. This matters for interfaces that use gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, or on-screen controls used together.
- parallel interface
- A parallel interface sends several bits of data at the same time using multiple wires. It can be faster than simple serial connections, but it uses more microcontroller pins, so it is less convenient for small projects with limited wiring space.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
