adafruit 2.8 tft lcd brands

With four bright white LED backlight and 240 x 320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this colour 2.8in. TFT display features a resistive touchscreen for fingertip detection across the entire screen surface. The workload is lifted from the microcontroller by a built-in controller equipped with RAM buffering, and the display board has two modes: 8-bit and SPI.

Adafruit 2.8 inch TFT LCD Touchscreen Breakout Board with microSD SocketThis colour 2.8” TFT display has 4 bright white LED backlight and 240 x 320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control. It has a resistive touchscreen to detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. The built-in controller has RAM buffering to take the workload away from the microcontroller. This display board has two modes: 8-bit and SPI.

It is 3 V to 5 V compliant with high-speed level shifters so you can use with any microcontroller. If you are using SPI mode, you can also take advantage of the on-board micro-SD card socket.Adafruit LCD Touchscreens

The Adafruit 2.8in. TFT LCD Touchscreen Display brings QVGA graphics to your next project using only 5 x SPI pins or 12 x GPIO pins if you can spare them. The screen is bright with a 4-LED backlight and can display 18-bits of colour (262,000 colours). There"s a display controller built in so your microcontroller doesn"t need to get involved in refreshing the screen, it just has to write the pixels once then it can move on to other tasks. SPI mode uses less pins but is slower while 8-bit mode uses more pins and is faster, the choice is up to you. Adafruit have software and tutorials to support you whichever mode you decide to use, see the links below. The board also has a micro-SD card socket that you can use to store files and images.

Visit https://learn.adafruit.com where Adafruit provide a free tutorial for the Raspberry Pi, and another tutorial for the Arduino. They also have an open source library to drive the display in 8-bit mode, and another to use SPI mode. Please note that while the screen is capable of 18-bit colour, the Adafruit code uses 16-bits for efficiency. It"s highly unlikely that you"ll ever notice any difference.

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful! 240x320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. We also have a version of this display breakout with a capacitive touchscreen.

Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top!

Use it for console access or easily pop up X11 onto the PiTFT for a mini monitor, although its rather small at 320x240. Instead, we recommend using PyGame or other SDL-drawing programs to write onto the frame buffer.

Raspberry Pi computer and enclosure not included!As of July 27th, 2015 this display comes fully assembled and includes 4 tactile switches soldered on.Check out our detailed tutorial on how to play videos, display images, and otherwise customize your PiTFT.
