NEW GUIDE: Adafruit 1.9″ Color IPS TFT Display #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit @CircuitPython @MakerMelissa

A new guide in the Adafruit Learning System: Adafruit 1.9″ Color IPS TFT Display.

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful, and very bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and only a few pins available! The 1.9″ display has 320×170 16-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 (ST7789) is very similar to the popular ST7735, and the Adafruit Arduino library supports it well.

The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as an ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator, auto-reset circuitry, and a 3/5V level shifter, so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. We also had a little extra space, so we placed a microSD card holder, so you can easily load full color bitmaps…
