A wide variety of tft display 1.8 options are available to you, You can also choose from original manufacturer, odm and agency tft display 1.8,As well as from tft, ips, and standard.
Note: ILI9163C Datasheets improperly (not traditional) refer to SPI as a Serial Interface. Please see timing diagram in 6.2.1 called "3-line Serial Interface Protocol"
The DT018ATFT does not support 4-Wire SPI (also known as "4-line Serial Interface Protocol", 8-bit data, which includes a separate D/C signal line). DT018ATFT does not support this since the signal in ILI9163C datasheet called "SPI4" is hard coded to 0. However, a custom version of the FPC can be tooled to expose the proper 4-Wire SPI signals - please contact us for more details.
The provided display driver example code is designed to work with Microchip, however it is generic enough to work with other micro-controllers. The code includes display reset sequence, initialization and example PutPixel() function.
This 128x160 resolution LCD TFT is equipped with a powerful backlight, providing visibility in bright lighting conditions including the direct sun.

This 2.8V Liquid Crystal Display has a built-in ILI9163V controller, FFC connection, is RoHS compliant and does not come with a touchscreen.
Choose from a wide selection of interface options or talk to our experts to select the best one for your project. We can incorporate HDMI, USB, SPI, VGA and more into your display to achieve your design goals.
Equip your display with a custom cut cover glass to improve durability. Choose from a variety of cover glass thicknesses and get optical bonding to protect against moisture and debris.
Hi guys, welcome to today’s tutorial. Today, we will look on how to use the 1.8″ ST7735 colored TFT display with Arduino. The past few tutorials have been focused on how to use the Nokia 5110 LCD display extensively but there will be a time when we will need to use a colored display or something bigger with additional features, that’s where the 1.8″ ST7735 TFT display comes in.
The ST7735 TFT display is a 1.8″ display with a resolution of 128×160 pixels and can display a wide range of colors ( full 18-bit color, 262,144 shades!). The display uses the SPI protocol for communication and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer which means it can be used with all kinds of microcontroller and you only need 4 i/o pins. To complement the display, it also comes with an SD card slot on which colored bitmaps can be loaded and easily displayed on the screen.
The schematics for this project is fairly easy as the only thing we will be connecting to the Arduino is the display. Connect the display to the Arduino as shown in the schematics below.
Due to variation in display pin out from different manufacturers and for clarity, the pin connection between the Arduino and the TFT display is mapped out below:
We will use two libraries from Adafruit to help us easily communicate with the LCD. The libraries include the Adafruit GFX library which can be downloaded here and the Adafruit ST7735 Library which can be downloaded here.
We will use two example sketches to demonstrate the use of the ST7735 TFT display. The first example is the lightweight TFT Display text example sketch from the Adafruit TFT examples. It can be accessed by going to examples -> TFT -> Arduino -> TFTDisplaytext. This example displays the analog value of pin A0 on the display. It is one of the easiest examples that can be used to demonstrate the ability of this display.
The second example is the graphics test example from the more capable and heavier Adafruit ST7735 Arduino library. I will explain this particular example as it features the use of the display for diverse purposes including the display of text and “animated” graphics. With the Adafruit ST7735 library installed, this example can be accessed by going to examples -> Adafruit ST7735 library -> graphics test.
The first thing, as usual, is to include the libraries to be used after which we declare the pins on the Arduino to which our LCD pins are connected to. We also make a slight change to the code setting reset pin as pin 8 and DC pin as pin 9 to match our schematics.
Next, we create an object of the library with the pins to which the LCD is connected on the Arduino as parameters. There are two options for this, feel free to choose the most preferred.
Next, we move to the void setup function where we initialize the screen and call different test functions to display certain texts or images. These functions can be edited to display what you want based on your project needs.
Uploading the code to the Arduino board brings a flash of different shapes and text with different colors on the display. I captured one and its shown in the image below.
That’s it for this tutorial guys, what interesting thing are you going to build with this display? Let’s get the conversation started. Feel free to reach me via the comment section if you have any questions as regards this project.
You can use TFT displays in HMI products such as room temperature controllers and attendance systems, weather monitoring devices, infotainment systems, and even video game consoles.
This article is part of our series on the different types of displaysthat you can use with Arduino, so if you’re weighing up the options, then do check out our guide to the best displays to use with Arduino.
Let us see a view of a TFT LCD module. In the following section, we will see the pin definition and the pin mapping table for the connection between Arduino and the TFT display.
A0 / DCData Command Select Pin / Analog PinMost of the time, you have to find the relevant termination needed from the LCD datasheet. Terminate this pin to Logic high using a 10 ㏀
You can see the tradeoff here. Going for a better color resolution provides vibrant display options, but memory usage will increase with the color resolution.
There is a tradeoff between the quality of the display, power consumption, and the simplicity of coding. The TFT displays consume more power and need more programming than a simple monochrome display.
TFT displays provide a faster refresh rate and provide smoother transitions. The quicker processing improves the look and feels of the so-called user experience for the user.
The Arduino doesn’t need any special hardware to drive the controllers. The SPI or I2C interface can also be bit-banged, making it portable to any Arduino Board.
I am confident that the article was beneficial and easy to understand. I have used TFT displays in my hobby projects to learn more about the available libraries.
Is there a difference between the NANO and MEGA that would account for ST7735 displays working on NANO and not working on MEGA? I"m using the same pins on both....
This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful, and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available! The 1.8″ display has 128×160 color pixels. Unlike the low-cost Nokia 6110 and similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type and thus have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 18-bit color (262,144 shades!). And the 1.8 Inch SPI 128×160 TFT LCD Display Module will always come with the same driver chip so there are no worries that your code will not work from one to the other. The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as an ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and a 3/5V level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. It features a microSD card holder so you can easily load full-color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card.
