The Adafruit Mini PiTFT 1.14" is a compact 135×240 pixel IPS colour display that snaps directly onto any Raspberry Pi via the GPIO header. Its slim widescreen format is perfect for status bars, scrolling text, or compact dashboards on headless Pi projects.
The display communicates over SPI for fast refresh rates (~15 FPS), leaving plenty of GPIO pins free for buttons, LEDs, and sensors. Two built-in tactile buttons and a STEMMA QT / Qwiic I2C connector make it easy to build interactive projects without extra wiring. Also available in a larger 1.3" 240×240 square format.
Key Features
- 1.14" IPS Display – 135×240 pixel resolution with wide viewing angles and high contrast
- SPI Interface – Fast communication (~15 FPS) using the ST7789 driver, leaving most GPIO pins available
- Two Tactile Buttons – Connected to GPIO pins for building simple user interfaces
- STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connector – Plug-and-play I2C port for sensors and peripherals
- Pre-Assembled – Fully soldered and tested, ready to plug in and go
- Universal Compatibility – Works with any Raspberry Pi model including Pi Zero
- Python & Kernel Support – Use as a console display or draw graphics with the Python Imaging Library
Ideal For
- Raspberry Pi Zero status displays and dashboards
- Compact IoT project interfaces with widescreen layout
- Scrolling text tickers and notification displays
- Simple menu-driven user interfaces with button input

- 1× Adafruit Mini PiTFT 1.14" 135×240 TFT Add-on (pre-assembled)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- 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.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
- 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.
- STEMMA
- A plug-and-cable connection system used on some maker electronics boards to make wiring simpler. If a product uses STEMMA, you need the matching cable or connector type to plug it in without soldering.
- STEMMA QT
- A small plug-in connector system for I2C boards that lets you connect compatible sensors and controllers without soldering. It matters because it can make wiring faster and less error-prone, especially when adding several small modules to a project.
- 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.
