This display has 320x240 pixels... ## Pricing - **Price:** $27.95 (inc GST) — $25.41 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $24.65 (exc GST) · 50+ $24.14 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 1 today, and up to 500 more in 8–12 days. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4278:1` (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/ADA4278:1.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 This is a screen for advanced hackers who like the look of the TFT screen Adafruit have put into the [PyPortal](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-pyportal-circuitpython-powered-internet-display.html), [PiTFT Plus](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-plus-320x240-3-2-tft-resistive-touchscreen-pi-2-and-model-a-b.html), and [TFT breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/3-2-tft-lcd-with-touchscreen-breakout-board-w-microsd-socket-ili9341.html). This display has 320x240 pixels and is driven with the ILI9341 chipset. **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). 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 solder it up by hand. 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. [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) The resistive touch screen is a classic 'analog' touch screen which requires either a micro controller with analog inputs OR [the use of a touch screen controller, such as this one](https://core-electronics.com.au/resistive-touch-screen-controller-stmpe610.html). ## Technical Details - [3.2" diagonal LCD TFT display datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/QC032TM50TP__REV_3165358ef91.pdf) 240x320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color capable - Adafruit's code uses only 16-bits since it's faster. - [ILI9341 (datasheet)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/ILI9341_36676993df6.pdf) controller with built in video RAM buffer - [Adafruit ILI9341 library with both SPI and 8 Bit support](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ILI9341) - Dimensions (excluding ribbon connector): - 77.8mm x 54.3mm x 3.6mm Product Weight: 27.0g / 1.0oz - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/4278_QC032TM50TP_REV_22539faf72d.pdf) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/4/2/4278-00.jpg)
