Adafruit 2.8" TFT Display - 240x320 with Capacitive Touchscreen

Enhance your projects with a vibrant color capacitive touchscreen LCD. Measuring 2.8 inches diagonally, this TFT display offers a resolution of 240x320 pixels, providing superior clarity over the traditional black and white options. With individual RGB pixel control, your visuals will pop with vivid color and brightness, thanks to the integrated white-LED backlight.

The capacitive single-touch touchscreen allows for seamless finger press detection across the screen, delivering an intuitive interaction. Driven by the ILI9341 chipset and featuring a FT6236 touch chip, it communicates over I2C, enabling precise control and feedback.

Compatible with SPI (4 or 3 wire), and both 8 and 16-bit parallel, the display offers versatile connectivity for advanced implementations. For specialized integration, engage the dot clock mode for raw TTL signals, though please note, no example code is provided for this setting.

This is a standalone display module meant for integration into custom projects, with no included PCB. Connectivity requires a 50-pin, 0.5mm pitch, top-contact FPC connector, not solderable directly to a PCB and must be paired with a corresponding connector. For easy interfacing, consider a breakout board that simplifies connections and mounts securely.

For first-time users, Arduino code is available to assist in setup, and for those utilizing Arduino-shaped microcontrollers, a compatible TFT shield version can streamline your development process.
