2.8 TFT LCD with Cap Touch Breakout Board w/MicroSD Socket

The 2.8" TFT LCD Breakout Board features a bright, full-colour display with a capacitive single-touch touchscreen and an onboard MicroSD card socket. With 240×320 resolution and individual RGB pixel control, it delivers vivid colour output for interactive projects.

The breakout supports two interface modes: 8-bit parallel (12 lines total) for fast performance, or SPI (5 pins) for reduced wiring. Both are 3–5V compatible with onboard level shifters. The capacitive touchscreen uses an FT6206 controller over I2C (2 additional pins). In SPI mode, you can also use the MicroSD slot to load and display images.
