Back in January, we introduced the Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module, an adapter board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 that is designed to deliver high-quality, low-power display experiences for digital signage and other visual applications. Today, we are delighted to announce that the Smart Display Module is available to buy now from our global network of Approved Resellers.

The Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module was developed in collaboration with Sharp Display Solutions Europe and works with any display or device that supports products conforming to the Intel Smart Display Module (SDM) specification. It provides cost-effective performance with 4K video playback and is fully compatible with numerous content management systems that already support Raspberry Pi 5 or Compute Module 5.

For those attending Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 in Barcelona, a visit to the Sharp booth might reveal something new, exciting, and not yet released. We've been working with Sharp Display Solutions Europe to develop the Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module: an adapter board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 that is designed to deliver high-quality, low-power display experiences for professional signage applications.

The Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module enables users in the audio-visual and digital signage markets to integrate the power, flexibility, and energy efficiency of Compute Module 5 into compatible display screens, with no external media player, cabling, or power source required. The module also provides HDMI output to support a second independent video stream, along with an M.2 expansion slot for optional AI acceleration.
