Trying out the HyperPixel2r Touch Display for Raspberry Pi
The HyperPixel 2r from Pimoroni is a round 2.1” IPS capacitive touchscreen with high-speed DPI interface intended for the Raspberry Pi Pi Zero (2) W.
The HyperPixel 2r from Pimoroni is a round 2.1” IPS capacitive touchscreen with high-speed DPI interface. Like its square and rectangular HyperPixel 4 brothers, the '2r' is intended for Raspberry Pi. Actually, the size is optimized for the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero 2 W but, as it has the standard 40-pin HAT connector, it can be plugged on any Raspberry Pi equipped with such a connector as long as you are careful about the mechanical side of things.
The display’s resolution is 480 by 480 pixels without the corners. It has 18-bit color depth, meaning that it can display 262,144 colors. It supports up to 60 frames per second (FPS). The viewing area has a 2.1” diameter (53.3 mm) and a viewing angle of 175°. Its full diameter is 72 mm. With a Pi Zero attached the total height (or depth, whatever you prefer) is 17 mm.
This video shows what it looks like and what you can do with it.
