adafruit tft display setup for sale

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.

We"ve been looking for a display like this for a long time - it"sso smallonly 1.14" diagonal but has a high density 260 PPI, 240x135 pixel display with full-angle viewing. Itlooksa lot like our 0.96" 160x80 display but has 2.5x as many pixels. We"ve seen displays of this calibre used in smartwatches and small electronic devices but they"ve always been MIPI interfaces. Finally, we found one that is SPI and has a friendly display driver, so it works with any and all microcontrollers or microcomputers!

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colourful and very 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 1.14" display has 240x135 16-bit full-colour pixels and is anIPSdisplay, so the colour looks great up to 80 degrees off-axis in any direction. The TFT driver (ST7789) is very similar to the popular ST7735, and our Arduino library supports it well.

Our 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. We also had a little space so we placed a microSD card holder so you can easily load full colour bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card. The MicroSD card is not included.

There’s just so much fun to be had by adding a display to your projects, and now with so many different sizes, shapes and display technologies – it’s more exciting than ever before.

We stock a huge variety of displays for every project and microcontroller, including LCDs, TFTs, OLEDs, Paper displays and more. We also stock adapters and accessories for your traditional HDMI displays.

Low-power options are a popular choice for makers. Our ePaper, OLED and TFT products offer crisp detail which can be powered by your microcontroller without the need for a separate power supply.
