GFX HAT - Retro LCD with RGB Backlight

by Pimoroni

A 128x64 pixel, 2.15" LCD display with snazzy six-zone RGB backlight and six capacitive touch buttons. GFX HAT makes an ideal display and interface for your headless Pi projects.

GFX HAT riffs off our beloved Display-O-Tron HAT, but gives you the flexibility of individual pixels, letting you display more complex graphics and real typefaces, while retaining the handy capacitive touch buttons for input/navigation.

This breakout is small and well-formed. The Pimoroni library for the device on Github is handy too - I've punted in a PR unlocking further functionality for it too. I recommend this device.
