The 480×320 pixel display is driven by the HX8357D chipset and features a bright 6-LED white backlight. The breakout board includes 3–5 V level shifters, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.\n\nThe display supports two interface modes: 8-bit parallel (12 lines total) for maximum speed, or SPI (5 lines) for a simpler wiring setup. The resistive touchscreen requires 2 digital and 2 analogue pins for direct reading, or can be driven via an external touch controller over I2C/SPI (sold separately). In SPI mode, the onboard microSD socket can be used to load and display bitmap images.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n3.5\" TFT Display – 480×320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control\n\nHX8357D Driver – Built-in controller with RAM buffering for minimal MCU overhead\n\nDual Interface – 8-bit parallel (fast) or SPI (fewer pins)\n\nResistive Touchscreen – Detects X, Y, and pressure (Z)\n\nMicroSD Card Socket – Load images from a microSD card in SPI mode\n\n3–5 V Level Shifting – High-speed level shifters for broad microcontroller compatibility\n\nBright Backlight – 6 white LEDs for clear visibility\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nInteractive Arduino and microcontroller projects\nTouch-enabled user interfaces\nImage and data display applications\nProjects requiring a large, readable colour screen\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 3.5\" TFT LCD Breakout Board with Touchscreen and MicroSD Socket\n1× Header strip\n\n\n\nNote: Arduino, breadboard, and microSD card are not included.\n\n\nResources\n\nAdafruit Learning Guide – Wiring, Test & Example Code\nAdafruit HX8357 SPI Library (GitHub)\nAdafruit TFTLCD 8-Bit Library (GitHub)\nAdafruit Touch Screen Library (GitHub)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13939,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2050","price":77.94,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
