We've seen displays of this caliber used in smartwatches and small electronic devices but they've always been MIPI interface. Finally, we found one that is SPI and has a friendly display driver, so it works with any and all microcontrollers or microcomputers!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and very 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 1.54\" display has 240x240 16-bit full color pixels and is an \u003cstrong\u003eIPS\u003c\/strong\u003e display, so the color looks great up to 80 degrees off axis in any direction. The TFT driver (ST7789) is very similar to the popular ST7735, and our Arduino library supports it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis breakout has the TFT display soldered on (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. There was a little space so Adafruit placed a microSD card holder so you can easily load full color bitmaps from a FAT16\/FAT32 formatted microSD card.

Without something gently holding the screen down, the backlight can eventually peel away from the TFT. (It's not destructive but it's unattractive) You can prevent this by, ideally, adding a plastic or glass cover\/overlay. If using bare, try dabbing a touch of E6000 or similar craft glue on the thin side edges, or using a thin piece of tape to keep the front TFT attached to the backlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn-shop.adafruit.com\/product-files\/3787\/3787_tft_QT154H2201__________20190228182902.pdf\"\u003eTFT Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3014381568010,"sku":"ADA3787","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/3787-06.jpg?v=1712158474","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-1-54-240x240-wide-angle-tft-lcd-display-with-microsd-st7789","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
