As a bonus, this display has a \u003cstrong\u003ecapacitive\u003c\/strong\u003e single-touch touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. (\u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/products\/2-8-tft-lcd-with-touchscreen-breakout-board-w-microsd-socket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eWe also have a resistive touchscreen version of this display breakout\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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, 2 I2C pins are required for the touch screen controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit 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 any microcontroller. If you're going with SPI mode, you can also take advantage of the onboard MicroSD card socket to display images. (The microSD card not included, but any will work)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, Adafruit wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a \"good luck!\". For 8-bit interface fans, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/TFTLCD-Library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ethey've written a full open-source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text, and more\u003c\/a\u003e.
