The 2.8" TFT Touch Shield V4.3 is an Arduino-compatible display shield featuring a 240×320 colour LCD with a resistive touchscreen and onboard SD card socket. It communicates over SPI, keeping pin usage low and leaving more pins available for other components.
Driven by the ILI9341 controller, the shield supports 65,535 colours (16-bit) and includes a controllable backlight. The resistive touchscreen allows finger or stylus input across the full display area. Compatible with Arduino UNO, Crowduino, and Arduino Mega boards.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Colour depth
- Colour depth describes how many different colours a display can show. A 65K-colour display can show about 65,000 colours, which is useful for icons, graphs, and simple full-colour interfaces but is less detailed than modern phone or computer screens.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- TFT
- A thin-film transistor display is a common type of colour LCD used for graphics screens. Knowing a product is for TFTs helps you check that the driver board matches the display’s connector, resolution, backlight, and signalling method.
