Adafruit 1.14 240x135 Color TFT Display + MicroSD Card Breakout - ST7789

Meet our amazing 1.14 - inch 240x135 Color TFT Display with MicroSD Card Breakout! It's as tiny as your thumbnail but boasts glorious 240x135 high - resolution pixel color. With a diagonal of just 1.14 inches, it's packed with RGB pixels, perfect for creating small, high - density displays. We've searched long for a display like this. Despite its small 1.14 - inch diagonal, it has a high - density 260 ppi, 240x135 pixel display with full - angle viewing. It resembles our 0.96 - inch 160x80 display but has 2.5 times more pixels. Usually, displays of this quality use MIPI interface, but we found one with SPI and a user - friendly display driver, which works with all microcontrollers or microcomputers! This cute little display breakout is the ideal way to add a small, colorful, and super - bright display to any project. Using 4 - wire SPI for communication and having its own pixel - addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every type of microcontroller, even those with low memory and few pins. The 1.14 - inch display has 240x135 16 - bit full - color pixels and is an IPS display, showing great color up to 80 degrees off - axis in any direction. The TFT driver (ST7789) is similar to the popular ST7735, well - supported by our Arduino library. Our breakout has the TFT display soldered on via a delicate flex - circuit connector, along with an ultra - low - dropout 3.3V regulator and a 3/5V level shifter, allowing use with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. There's also a microSD card holder so you can easily load full - color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card (not included). We've written a full open - source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and bitmaps, along with example code and a wiring tutorial. The code is for Arduino IDE but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!

Using this Adafruit display is a breeze. First, connect it to your microcontroller or microcomputer. Thanks to the 4 - wire SPI communication and the level shifter, you can use either 3.3V or 5V power and logic. If you want to show full - color bitmaps, insert a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card into the holder. Our open - source graphics library makes it easy to draw different shapes and text on the display. Just use the example code as a starting point and modify it according to your needs. When handling the display, be careful with the delicate flex - circuit connector. Avoid bending it too much. To keep the display in good condition, store it in a dry and clean place. And don't forget to update the graphics library regularly to enjoy new features and improvements.
