The 1.8 Inch TFT LCD Display Module is a compact full-color SPI display driven by the ST7735 driver IC, featuring a 128×160 pixel RGB panel that displays 65,000 colors on a 1.8-inch screen — smaller in both panel size and PCB footprint (57×34mm) than the 2.8-inch TFT module, making the 1.8 inch tft display module the preferred choice for compact embedded projects, portable handheld instruments, wearable electronics, and space-constrained IoT device builds where a smaller color display fits the enclosure without the larger board area of the 2.8-inch variant. Unlike the 2.8-inch SPI TFT which includes a resistive touch layer, this 1.8 inch tft display is a display-only module — focused entirely on rendering color graphics and text output via SPI without the additional touch controller hardware that adds wiring complexity and cost to projects that do not need touch input.
The spi tft lcd module connects to the microcontroller via SPI using four control IO pins — RST, CS, DC, and BL alongside the shared SPI MOSI and CLK lines — and operates from 3.3V to 5V, compatible with both 5V Arduino boards and 3.3V ESP32 and STM32 GPIO outputs. The arduino tft display is supported by the Adafruit ST7735 library alongside the Adafruit GFX graphics library, both available through the Arduino IDE Library Manager, providing drawing functions for text, shapes, lines, and bitmap images. The 1.8 inch tft lcd module uses the ST7735 driver IC rather than the ILI9341 used by larger TFT panels — note that the initialization and library selection differs from the 2.8-inch ILI9341 module even though both use SPI.
Available from StemVolt, offering quality electronics parts at competitive prices. This tft display price-accessible 1.8 inch module is ideal for Arduino ESP32 compact color display portable instrument and STEM project TFT LCD builds in India.
