Key Features:
- Best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project
- Has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer
- Can be used with every kind of microcontroller even low memor, small ones with few available pins
- Displays full 16-bit color using Adafruit's library code
This lovely little display breakout is the best 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 1.44" display has 128x128 color pixels. Unlike the low cost "Nokia 6110" and similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type and have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver(ST7735R) can display full 16-bit color with code.
The breakout has the TFT display pre-soldered (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as a 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 color bitmaps from a formatted microSD card.
