A uniquely square, high-resolution, high-speed, 4.0" display for Raspberry Pi – it's hip to be square!
HyperPixel 4.0 Square has all the great features of our standard HyperPixel 4.0—a crisp, brilliant IPS display 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!
Note that the images of the displays on this page have not been Photoshopped. That's the Raspbian desktop with our HyperPixel Square wallpaper on!
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 a 60 FPS frame rate and a resolution of approximately 254 pixels per inch (720x720px) on its 4.0" display. The display can show 18-bits of colour (262,144 colours).
Please note: when installing HyperPixel 4.0 Square onto your Pi make 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).
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.
Pimoroni has 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 | bash to run the one-line installer and set your HyperPixel 4.0 up.

Since Raspberry Pi OS has been split into three branches (Buster 32-bit, Bullseye 32-bit, and Bullseye 64-bit) not every combination of Raspberry Pi and OS can be installed with the one-line-installer. If you are having troubles with a Pi 3B, or Pi Zero see this thread which has steps to manually install the screen.
