## Description

This is a screen for advanced hackers who like the look of a square TFT screen with tons of pixels. The 4" square display has 480x48016-bit full-color pixels and is an **IPS** display, so the color looks great up to 80 degrees off-axis in any direction.

The TFT driver is ST7701S and uses both SPI *and* TTL RGB 'dot clock' data. The SPI is *only for configuring the display* - **you cannot draw pixels over SPI**! Also, despite having a 40-pin connector, **it does not have the same pinout as standard 'rectangular' 800x480** (4.3", 5" or 7") or 480x272 (4.3") displays. It's a new kind of beast for sure.

To make stuff light up you'll need a chip that can perform TTL RGB TFT driving, which means a powerful microcontroller such as the ESP32-S3 with octal PSRAM or a computer like a Raspberry Pi (with either direct-DPI connection or an intermediary chip like the ICN6211). Either way, it's not something you can wire up to your Feather or Arduino.

**This is just the display module! No PCB is included.**

**You cannot use these with an everyday microcontroller unless it specifically has support for RGB-666 displays** so please do not purchase unless you know for sure that it can plug into a driver board with the correct pinout as well.
