A 2.0-inch IPS colour display with 320 × 240 resolution and 16-bit colour depth (RGB565), supporting both I2C and UART communication via the Gravity connector. Powered by an ESP32-S3 chip with integrated LVGL graphics, it includes over 200 built-in icons, GIF animations, and dynamic widgets such as progress bars, sliders, compasses, gauges, and charts.
Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, micro:bit, and other microcontrollers. The display supports Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean character sets, and includes an 8 MB USB-C drive interface for storing custom icons and images. MakeCode graphical programming is supported for micro:bit users.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Colour depth
- Colour depth describes how many different colours a display can show. A 65K-colour display can show about 65,000 colours, which is useful for icons, graphs, and simple full-colour interfaces but is less detailed than modern phone or computer screens.
- ESP32
- ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- 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.
- 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.
- LVGL
- LVGL is an open-source graphics library for building buttons, menus, gauges and other user interfaces on small embedded displays. Support for LVGL matters if you want to create a polished touchscreen interface without drawing every screen element from scratch.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
