2.8 TFT Display with Resistive Touchscreen

This screen is designed for experienced hackers who appreciate the TFT screen featured in our PiTFT, TFT shield v2, and 2.8" TFT breakout. With a resolution of 320x240 pixels and driven by the ILI9341 chipset, this display module offers versatile connectivity options. Please note that this is only the display module, and it does not include a PCB.

You can communicate with this chip using SPI (4 or 3 wire), 8-bit parallel, or 16-bit parallel interfaces. Additionally, it can be configured for "dot clock mode" to accept raw TTL signals. However, please be aware that we do not provide example code for the latter mode.

We offer this module as a standalone option for those who wish to integrate it into their own projects. If you are new to working with this TFT, we recommend using our breakout board, which simplifies SPI or 8-bit interfacing and includes convenient features like mounting holes and level shifting. Alternatively, you can use one of our 50-pin FPC breakouts along with a 50-pin FPC connector for manual soldering. For information on the TFT command set, the comprehensive data sheet is available, and we also offer Arduino code for reference.

Please note that a 50-pin, 0.5mm pitch, top-contact FPC connector is required to connect to this screen. The connector is not included and cannot be directly soldered to a PCB. You will need a matching connector, which can be obtained separately.

The resistive touch screen featured here is a classic 'analog' touch screen, requiring either a microcontroller with analog inputs or the use of a touch screen controller, such as the one we provide.
