LILYGO T-Display P4 is a powerful and versatile ESP32-P4 and ESP32-C6-based development board that offers users (makers, engineers and embedded developers) a capable but small board in which to make more advanced projects. It has luxurious processing power, abundant connectivity and a big interactive screen in a smartphone form, it is suitable to use in IoT, AI and media and mobile applications.
The T-Display P4 is an ESP32-P4 microcontroller-based, RISC-V-based, dual-core processor operating at up to 360 MHz and supported by an auxiliary core running at 40 MHz, which is at the core of the module. This is an impressive system which offers good computing power for graphics, media processing and real-time applications. The board also has 16 MB of flash and 32 MB of PSRAM, a microSD card slot, so developers are not limited by the memory capacity of a complex application or user interface.
The secondary ESP32-C6 module with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5 (LE) is integrated to support wireless connectivity in the board. Such separation enables the primary processor to concentrate on application code, whereas the secondary module concentrates on the modern networking operations effectively.
The most impressive aspect of the T-Display P4 is its huge touchscreen, which it offers in either a 4.1-inch AMOLED display or a 4.05-inch TFT screen. Besides the fact that the display provides great visuals to user interfaces and graphics, it also supports capacitive touch input, which means it is user-friendly. Besides, a 2 MP MIPI camera interface is also on board so that it can record video as far as 1080p and, therefore, can be deployed to vision projects.
It has numerous onboard features that include LoRa SX1262 target module (for long-range IoT communications), an I2S speaker and microphone (sent and received audio uses), real-time clock (RTC), Ethernet and a 9-axis IMU (motion sensing uses). Various expansion options and GPIOs are also revealed, and hence the device is very flexible to external segments such as keyboards or sensors.
The LILYGO T-Display P4 can be positioned as a very attractive product to everyone who plans to construct next-generation portable systems, intelligent terminal stations, or integrated interfaces on account of its combination of processing power, versatile connectivity, quality display, and rich feature set.
The ESP-IDF supports a LILYGO T-Display P4, which is powered by FreeRTOS, and has a display, touch, camera, audio, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth LE modules. The LILYGO and Espressif give examples and documentation to facilitate the development of UI-based and related applications.
The LILYGO T-Display P4 is listed on the official LILYGO store at a regular price of around $119.30 USD (roughly equivalent to the standard price on the product page). However, as of now, the product shows “Sold out” for both the AMOLED and TFT display variants directly on the site. Shipping is offered worldwide via carriers like DHL, FedEx, and standard express from overseas warehouses.
