Adafruit 1.28" 240x240 Round TFT LCD Display with MicroSD
Round these parts, we have a soft spot for unconventional displays, and this one fits the bill! This 1.28" round TFT screen packs a high-density 220 PPI, 240x240 RGB display with full-angle viewing. It’s similar to our 1.54" square TFT, but with beveled edges for a sleek, circular design.
You’ve probably seen displays like this in smartwatches and compact electronics, but they’re usually MIPI-only. Finally, we found a friendly SPI version with an easy-to-use driver—perfect for microcontrollers and microcomputers!
Key Features:
- 1.28" diagonal, 240x240 resolution, IPS TFT display with vibrant colors & wide viewing angles.
- SPI interface – Works with nearly any microcontroller, even low-memory ones!
- GC9A01A display driver, similar to the popular ST7789, with full Arduino support.
- 3.3V & 5V logic compatibility – Onboard level shifter & ultra-low dropout regulator.
- Integrated microSD card slot (card not included) for loading full-color bitmaps.
- 18-pin EYESPI FPC connector for quick, solder-free connections (cable not included).
Software & Compatibility
We don’t just hand you a datasheet and a "good luck!"—we've got you covered with:
- Open-source Arduino graphics library – Draw pixels, lines, shapes, text, and bitmaps.
- Example code for quick setup.
- Python/Pillow-compatible library for Raspberry Pi & SBCs.
- CircuitPython displayio support for native functionality.
Easy Wiring & Usage
For best performance, use the hardware SPI pins on your Arduino—software SPI works but is noticeably slower. Want to skip the soldering? The EYESPI FPC connector makes integrating this display even easier!
A small, round, and ultra-bright display, perfect for wearables, dashboards, gauges, and custom electronics.
