We've seen displays of this caliber used in smartwatches and small electronic devices but they've always been MIPI interface. Finally, Adafruit 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 1.69\" display has 280x240 16-bit full color pixels and is an IPS 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 Adafruit's Arduino library supports it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that the way they get the rounded corners is by \u003cem\u003edeleting\u003c\/em\u003e pixels. The corner pixels are still addressed in RAM, they just don't appear, so it isn't like you have to do some special radial-pixel mapping. Treat it like a rectangular display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as an 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. Adafruit also had a little space so they placed a microSD card holder so you can easily load full-color bitmaps from a FAT16\/FAT32 formatted microSD card. The microSD card is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, they wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a \"good luck!\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-1-3-and-1-54-240-x-240-wide-angle-tft-lcd-displays\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAdafruit have written a full open-source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and bitmaps as well as example code and a wiring tutorial.\u003c\/a\u003e The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis display breakout also features a 18-pin \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/eyespi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"EYE SPI\"\u003c\/a\u003e standard FPC connector with flip-top connector.
