adafruit 2.8 tft lcd breakout board brands

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.

We wrapped up this display into an easy-to-use breakout board, with SPI connections on one end and 8-bit on the other. Both are 3-5V compliant with high-speed level shifters so you can use with any microcontroller. If you"re going with SPI mode, you can also take advantage of the onboard MicroSD card socket to display images. (microSD card not included, but any will work)

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.
