The Adafruit 1.3" 240×240 Wide Angle IPS TFT Display is a bare display module — the same screen used in the Adafruit CLUE and Mini PiTFT 1.3". It delivers 240×240 pixels of 16-bit full colour with 80° viewing angles in all directions, driven by the ST7789 controller.
This is the display module only, with no PCB or breakout board included. It connects via a 24-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC connector (such as the Amphenol SFV24R-2STE1HLF) and is intended for integration into custom projects. For a ready-to-use version with level shifting, mounting holes, and SPI breakout, see our breakout board version.
Key Features
- 240×240 IPS Display – 16-bit colour with 80° viewing angles, 1.3" diagonal
- ST7789 TFT Driver – Similar to the popular ST7735, supported by the Adafruit Arduino library
- Compact Module – Bare display for custom integration
- Open Source Library – Arduino graphics library with support for pixels, lines, shapes, text, and bitmaps
Package Contents
- 1× 1.3" 240×240 IPS TFT display module (bare, no PCB)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
- IPS
- IPS is a type of LCD panel that keeps colours and contrast more consistent when viewed from an angle. This matters for small displays that may be mounted in a dashboard, handheld project, or enclosure where the viewer is not always looking straight on.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- 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.
- ST7789
- A display controller chip commonly used to drive small colour TFT screens. If a board uses an ST7789, your software needs a compatible display library or driver to draw text, graphics and images correctly.
- 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.
