0.96 160x80 color tft display quotation

Say hello to the 0.96" 160x80 IPS Color Display Breakout – we think it"s an awesome piece of display! It"s the size of your thumbnail, with glorious 160x80 pixel color. This very very small display is only 0.96" diagonal, packed with RGB pixels, for making very small high-density displays.

This lovely little display breakout is a great 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 0.96" display has 160x80 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 IPS! The IPS driver (ST7735) can display full 16-bit color using our library code, 65K Full color.

Of course, there are also several tutorials and libraries for this cute color IPS display.  The open-source library from Adafruit offers many functions including draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and bitmaps as well as example code and a wiring tutorial. The code is written for Arduino IDE but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

In the above example, Node32-Lite and this 0.96-inch LCD.  Please refer to the tutorial here: ST7735S interfacing with ESP32 to make the connections, Arduino library installation, and modification needed for it to works on this LCD.

If anyone has one of these displays that you thought was broken, here is a working sketch based on an 8051 driver example I received from the Chinese vendor. Perhaps it will help get someone started... I took the function initial() from this sketch and added it to Bodmers ST7735_init.h for my "BLUETAB" version which is the subject of this topic.

Small and exquisite, this 0.96” TFT screen employs an edge-to-edge design and offers glorious 160×80HD 16-bit color display, which can be suitable for wearable projects, mobile devices and smart home products.

Compatible with 3.3V to 5V, the display consumes current less than 15mA in full-screen. It works well with controllers like Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ESP32, ESP8266, FireBeetle M0, etc

The Adafruit Feather 0.96" Display + Joystick is a 0.96" 160x80 Color TFT Display with 16-bit full color capability. And, so you can make a proper UI, Adafruit have added a 5-way navigation switch and two push buttons. The joystick can go left, right, up, down and "in" for selection. Two buttons on the side can change modes or whatever you like. Thanks to seesaw the 7 user interface switches are managed over I2C so you don"t need any extra GPIO pins to spare, this display will even work on low-pin-availability Feathers like the ESP8266. All you need is the standard hardware SPI, I2C and two GPIO for TFT control, even the TFT reset pin and backlight is controlled by seesaw, all over I2C.

This lovely little display breakout is a great way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any Feather project, and it works with all of our Feathers. 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.
