This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful!... ## Pricing - **Price:** $43.40 (inc GST) — $39.45 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $38.27 (exc GST) · 50+ $37.48 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA2770:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2770:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Add some jazz & pizzazz to your project with a color capacitive touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful! 240x320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a bonus, this display has a **capacitive** single-touch touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen. ([We also have a resistive touchscreen version of this display with a breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-8-tft-lcd-with-touchscreen-breakout-board-w-microsd-socket-ili9341.html))This is a screen for advanced hackers who like the look of the TFT screen Adafruit have put into the PiTFT, TFT shield v2 and 2.8" TFT breakout with capacitive touch. This display has 320x240 pixels and is driven with the ILI9341 chipset. The touch chip is a FT6206 which communicates over I2C. **This is just the display module! No PCB is included!** You can talk to this chip with SPI (4 or 3 wire), 8 bit parallel, or 16 bit parallel. It also can be put into "dot clock mode" for raw TTL signal in but Adafruit have never done this ourselves so there's no example code for that.Adafruit are selling this module bare for those who want to integrate it into their own project. [If this is your first time working with this TFT we suggest Adafruit's breakout board which makes it easy to use SPI or 8-bit interfacing and also has mounting holes, level shifting, etc.](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-8-tft-lcd-with-touchscreen-breakout-board-w-microsd-socket-ili9341.html). For the TFT command set, the data sheet is very complete, [but They also have some Arduino code you can refer to here to get started](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ILI9341)A 50-pin, 0.5mm pitch, top-contact FPC connector is required to connect to this screen. Adafruit show one in the photos, but it is not included! [You cannot solder this connector directly to a PCB - a matching connector is required, you can pick one up here.](https://core-electronics.com.au/50-pin-0-5mm-pitch-top-contact-fpc-smt-connector.html) Otherwise, [you can pick up one of Adafruit's 50-pin FPC breakouts and an 50-pin FPC connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-50-pin-0-5mm-pitch-fpc-adapter.html) and manually solder. **If you are using an Arduino-shaped microcontroller,** [check out Adafruit's TFT shield version of this same display](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-8-tft-touch-shield-for-arduino-w-capacitive-touch.html) ## Technical Details Product Dimensions: 69.0mm x 50.0mm x 4.0mm / 2.7" x 2.0" x 0.2" ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2011_65_EU_7356c5574c.svg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2015_863_EU_86773f57f9.svg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/a/d/ada2770-1.jpg)
