The 1.3" IPS TFT LCD Display Module is a compact, full-color screen driven by the ST7789 controller IC. Featuring a high-resolution 240x240 pixel IPS panel, it delivers stunning 65K RGB colors with a true full viewing angle — no color distortion regardless of direction. It communicates via a 4-line SPI interface requiring only a handful of GPIO pins, making it effortless to integrate with Arduino, STM32, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and virtually any other microcontroller platform.
Note: This module has no CS pin — it cannot share the SPI bus with other SPI devices simultaneously.

Please refer to the pin definition table in the Description tab for wiring details. Connect VCC and GND to 3.3V and ground respectively. SCL, SDA, RES, and DC connect to your microcontroller's SPI and GPIO pins. This module has no CS pin — it cannot share the SPI bus with other devices. BLK connects to 3.3V to keep the backlight on permanently, or to a GPIO/PWM pin for software brightness control.
Country of origin: China
Note: This module operates at 3.3V only. If using with a 5V microcontroller such as Arduino UNO, a logic level converter is required to avoid damaging the display.
