2.8 18-bit color TFT LCD with touchscreen breakout board [ILI9325]

The 2.8" TFT LCD Touchscreen Breakout Board features a bright, full-colour display with a built-in resistive touchscreen. With 240×320 resolution and 18-bit colour (262,000 shades), it offers significantly more detail than monochrome displays.

The onboard ILI9325/ILI9328 controller includes built-in video RAM, minimising the workload on your microcontroller. The display connects via an 8-bit digital interface with 4–5 control lines, and the touchscreen shares pins with the LCD so the entire setup requires just 12 pins (10 digital, 2 analogue).
