adafruit 2.8 tft lcd touchscreen 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.

The 2.8″ TFT LCD with Touchscreen Breakout Board with a MicroSD Socket and an ILI9341 controller display can be used to add a graphical user interface (GUI) to a project. The TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD (liquid crystal display) has a resolution of 240×320 pixels, which allows it to display detailed images and text. The touchscreen feature allows users to interact with the display by touching the screen. The MicroSD socket can be used to store and access data from a MicroSD card. The ILI9341 controller is responsible for driving the display and handling touch input. This breakout board can be used with a microcontroller to create a GUI for a project or application.

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.
This display has a controller built into it with RAM buffering, so that almost no work is done by the microcontroller. The display can be used in two modes: 8-bit and SPI. For 8-bit mode, you"ll need 8 digital data lines and 4 or 5 digital control lines to read and write to the display (12 lines total). SPI mode requires only 5 pins total (SPI data in, data out, clock, select, and d/c) but is slower than 8-bit mode. In addition, 4 pins are required for the touch screen (2 digital, 2 analog) or you can purchase and use our resistive touchscreen controller (not included) to use I2C or SPI

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.

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

I am trying to follow the instructions provided by the vendor https://learn.adafruit.com/2-8-tft-touch-shield/touchscreen-paint-example to no avail. Specifically:

TFT TFT screens are a type of LCD screens that provide an even sharper and brighter image and are even flatter. The big difference with an LCD screen is that in the TFT screen for each sub-pixel a very small transistor is built into the glass plate that can contain the information of each sub-pixel.
