3.5” 480x320 TFT LCD Capacitive Touchscreen

A 3.5" IPS TFT LCD display module with 480×320 resolution and a 5-point capacitive touchscreen. Driven by the ILI9488 display controller and GT911 touch chip, it communicates over SPI and operates at 3.3–5.5 V, making it compatible with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ESP32, ESP8266, and DFRobot FireBeetle M0.

The module features a GDI (General Display Interface) connector for plug-and-play use with compatible main controllers, reducing wiring complexity. An onboard microSD card slot allows you to load and display images directly.
