Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is really big (3.2″ diagonal) bright (6 white-LED backlight) and colorful! 240×320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this has way more resolution than a black and white 128×64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

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

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)

Of course, we wouldn’t just leave you with a datasheet and a “good luck!”. For 8-bit interface fans we’ve written a full open source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and more. For SPI users, we have a library as well, its separate from the 8-bit library since both versions are heavily optimized. We also have a touch screen library that detects x, y and z (pressure) and example code to demonstrate all of it.

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is really big (3.2″ diagonal), bright (6 white-LED backlight), and colorful! With 240×320 pixels and individual RGB pixel control, this display offers far more resolution than a black and white 128×64 display. It features a resistive touchscreen attached, allowing you to detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

The display includes a built-in controller with RAM buffering, minimizing microcontroller workload. It supports two modes: 8-bit and SPI. The 8-bit mode requires 8 digital data lines and 4 or 5 digital control lines (12 total), while SPI mode requires only 5 pins but is slower. For touchscreen operation, 4 pins (2 digital, 2 analog) are required, or you can optionally use a resistive touchscreen controller (not included) for I2C or SPI interface.

This breakout board provides SPI connections on one end and 8-bit on the other, both 3-5V compliant with high-speed level shifters for broad compatibility. In SPI mode, the onboard MicroSD card socket can be used to display images (microSD card not included).

Comprehensive open source graphics libraries are available for 8-bit and SPI modes, along with a dedicated touchscreen library that detects x, y, and z (pressure). Step-by-step guides and example code help you get up and running quickly.
