A 3.2" TFT LCD display module with a built-in resistive touchscreen. The 320×240 pixel screen is driven by the ILI9341 chipset and supports SPI, 8-bit parallel, and 16-bit parallel interfaces.
This is the bare display module only — no PCB or breakout board is included. A 50-pin, 0.5 mm pitch, top-contact FPC connector is required to interface with this screen. For the resistive touch layer, you will need a microcontroller with analogue inputs or a dedicated touch screen controller.
Key Features
- 3.2" TFT Display – 320×240 pixel resolution
- ILI9341 Driver – Well-documented chipset with extensive library support
- Multiple Interfaces – SPI (3- or 4-wire), 8-bit parallel, or 16-bit parallel
- Resistive Touchscreen – Analogue touch layer for user input
- 50-Pin FPC Connection – 0.5 mm pitch, top-contact
Ideal For
- Custom embedded display projects
- Integration into bespoke PCB designs
- Experienced makers familiar with FPC connectors and display interfacing

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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.
