1.8 SPI TFT display, 160x128 18-bit color - ST7735R driver
A compact 1.8" TFT display with true 18-bit colour (262,144 shades) and 160 × 128 resolution. It uses a simple SPI interface requiring only 4–5 digital pins and features two white LED backlights running on 3.3 V. Driven by the ST7735R chip.
This is the raw display panel only — it is not mounted on a PCB or breakout board. Surface-mount soldering with fine-pitch techniques is required. If you need a ready-to-use version, see the 1.8" TFT breakout board with microSD card holder.
