The Adafruit 1.9" TFT is a wide-format IPS display featuring 320×170 pixels at 16-bit colour with viewing angles up to 80° in any direction. Driven by the ST7789 chipset over 4-wire SPI, this breakout works with any microcontroller — even those with limited memory and GPIO.

An onboard 3.3V regulator with auto-reset circuitry and 3/5V level shifter handle power and logic conversion. A built-in microSD card slot lets you load full-colour bitmaps from FAT16/FAT32 formatted cards, and an 18-pin EYESPI FPC connector provides a solderless wiring option.

Key Features

  • 320×170 IPS Display – 1.9" diagonal with wide viewing angles up to 80°
  • ST7789 Driver – 4-wire SPI interface compatible with any microcontroller
  • 16-Bit Colour – Vibrant full-colour pixel-addressable frame buffer
  • 3/5V Compatible – Onboard regulator with auto-reset and level shifter
  • MicroSD Card Slot – Load bitmaps and assets from FAT16/FAT32 cards
  • EYESPI FPC Connector – 18-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC connector for solderless wiring

Ideal For

  • Smartwatch-style wearable displays
  • Portable electronics with wide-format UI
  • IoT dashboards and status indicators
  • Bitmap and image display from microSD storage

Package Contents

  • 1× Adafruit 1.9" 320×170 TFT LCD breakout with MicroSD
  • 1× Header strip
Warning: This display was originally designed for smartwatches where a glass cover holds the screen down. Without a cover, the backlight can eventually peel away from the TFT (not destructive, but unattractive). Prevent this by adding a plastic or glass overlay, dabbing craft glue (e.g. E6000) on the thin side edges, or using a thin piece of tape to keep the front TFT attached to the backlight.
Note: MicroSD card and FPC cable not included. Soldering required if using header pins rather than FPC connector. Hardware SPI is strongly recommended — software SPI is noticeably slower at this resolution.
