Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades)! 240x320 pixels with individual pixel control. It has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

  • 2.8" diagonal color touchscreen TFT
  • 240x320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color - our library uses 16 bit color mode
  • ILI9341 (datasheet) controller with built in video RAM buffer
  • STMPE610 touch screen controller
  • High speed SPI display with digital SPI touchscreen driver
  • The display uses digital pins 13-9. Touchscreen controller requires digital pin 8. microSD pin requires digital #4. That means you can use digital pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and analog 0-5. Pin 4 is available if not using the microSD
  • Works with any classic Arduino '328. Solder closed three jumpers to use the ICSP header for use with Leonardo or Mega
  • Onboard 3.3V @ 300mA LDO regulator, current draw depends on usage but is about 100mA for the display and touchscreen
  • 4 white LED backlight. On by default but you can connect the transistor to a digital pin for backlight control
  • 4-wire resistive touchscreen attached to STMPE610 controller
