A 1.54-inch IPS TFT display with 240×240 resolution and 16-bit full-colour pixels. The IPS panel provides excellent colour accuracy up to 80° off axis in any direction, driven by the ST7789 controller over a 4-wire SPI interface.

This is the bare display module only — no PCB or supporting circuitry is included. It's designed for advanced makers who want to integrate a compact, vibrant display into a custom project. Adafruit provides a full open-source graphics library with pixel, line, shape, and text drawing functions.

  • ST7789 Driver – 4-wire SPI interface, compatible with Adafruit GFX library
  • Wide Viewing Angles – IPS technology with consistent colour up to 80° off axis
  • Pixel-Addressable Frame Buffer – Works with any microcontroller, even low-memory ones
  • Open-Source Library – Full graphics library with examples and wiring tutorial

Ideal For

  • Custom wearable and smartwatch-style builds
  • Compact colour displays for embedded projects
  • Integration into enclosures with a glass or plastic overlay
  • Projects requiring a small, high-quality colour screen

Package Contents

  • 1× 1.54" 240×240 IPS TFT display panel (bare module)
Note: This is just the bare display — no driver board or breakout PCB is included. The display is designed to be used behind a glass or plastic cover. Without an overlay, the backlight may eventually peel away from the TFT. A dab of craft glue on the thin side edges or a strip of tape can prevent this.
