The Waveshare RP2040-LCD-0.99-B rounded display is the latest display module by Waveshare. This board is built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU and hosts a 128×115 pixels 65K color IPS LCD, along with a QMI8658C IMU, all inside a CNC metal case with an acrylic dull-polish bottom plate.
The board also hosts a USB Type-C connector, an LDO, a 2MB NOR-Flash, a SH1.0 6PIN connector (adapting 4x GPIO pins), and a BOOT button.

As the display is built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU it supports the official Pico C/C++ and MicroPython SDKs and is also compatible with the Arduino IDE.
This is not the first rounded display module we have covered, previously we have written about displays like the MaTouch ESP32-S3, T-RGB ESP32-S3, and ESP32-S3 Round SPI TFT. Feel free to check these out if you are looking for a specific rounded display product.
The company also provides a detailed interface diagram of the hardware circuit board, showing essential components such as the QMI8658C IMU, W25Q16JVUXIQ 2MB NOR Flash, RT9013-33GB LDO, SH1.0 6-PIN GPIO connector, and a BOOT button.
Waveshare provides detailed outline dimensions of the boards. Additionally, they offer an extensive Wiki page for further information about the product.
The Waveshare RP2040-LCD-0.99-B rounded display can be purchased on Aliexpress for $11.90 plus shipping, Amazon US ($23.29), or the company’s online store for $16.99 excluding shipping.

From the aliexpress link – Sorry, this item is no longer available!
33 mm? So this is real small? Looking at the pictures, I had expected something the size of a Honeywell T87 thermostat.
And why the “3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope”? Is it meant for mobile applications, so put it on a drone or bicycle?
Looks nice, but without wireless communication i can’t think of much use for it.
