Adafruit Mini TFT - 0.96" 160x80

Mini TFT is small, but don't let it's size fool you!

It's the size of your thumbnail, with glorious 160x80 pixel color... it's the Adafruit Mini TFT Breakout! This very very small display is only 0.96" diagonal, packed with RGB pixels, for making very small high-density displays.

Adafruit 2.4" Color TFT Touchscreen Breakout

76,800 RGB pixels - under your control!

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is 2.4" diagonal with a bright (4 white-LED) backlight and it's 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 resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

Adafruit TFP401 HDMI/DVI Decoder to 40-pin TTL Display

Decode high speed HDMI video to a small display

Its a mini HDMI decoder board! So small and simple, you can use this board as an all-in-one display driver for TTL displays, or perhaps decoding HDMI/DVI video for some other project. This breakout features the TFP401 for decoding video, and for the touch version, an AR1100 USB resistive touch screen driver.

Adafruit 1.44" Color TFT with Micro SD Socket

1.44" TFT Display with 128x128 Color Pixels

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and 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 few pins available!

Adafruit 3.5" 320x480 Color TFT Touchscreen Breakout

Color! Lights! Touch! 8-Bit! SPI! MicroSD Card! 320x480 pixels!

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color touchscreen LCD. This TFT display is big (3.5" diagonal) bright (6 white-LED backlight) and colorful! 480x320 pixels with individual RGB pixel control, this has way more resolution than a black and white 128x64 display, and double our 2.8" TFT. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.

Adafruit 2.8" Color TFT Touchscreen Breakout v2

Color! Lights! Touch! 8-Bit! SPI! MicroSD Card! Pickles!

Add some jazz & pizazz to your project with a color 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 resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen, and a MicroSD card socket for loading images

Adafruit OLED Displays for Raspberry Pi

Here is how to use an Adafruit monochrome OLED display with your Raspberry Pi. What can I say? Good things come in small packages!

Miniature displays are great fun... The possibilities are truly endless. Need to show information? Want to view images? Then this guide is perfect for you! In this tutorial I will show you how to use one of Adafruit's fantastic monochrome OLED displays with your Raspberry Pi.

Adafruit 1.27" and 1.5" Color OLED Breakout Board

Big, bright colorful OLED

These big, bright displays measures 1.27" or 1.5" diagonal and have 128x96 or 128x128 RGB pixels. The OLED display technology gives you vivid, high contrast images and does not require a backlight. With16-bit resolution for each pixel, you can display a wide range of colors. The SSD1351 driver chip has a 4-wire SPI interface. We also include an on-board boost converter and built-in level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3v and 5v microcontrollers. A micro SD card holder lets you store bitmaps and other data. Our library includes example code to show you how!

Adafruit Sharp Memory Display Breakout

Ultra-Low Power, Daylight Visible Display

The 1.3" SHARP Memory LCD display is a cross between an eInk (e-paper) display and an LCD. This daylight-readable display has the ultra-low power usage of eInk and the fast-refresh rates of an LCD. This model has a matt silver background, and pixels show up as little mirrors for a silver-reflective display, a really beautiful and unique look.

2.2" TFT Display

320x240 pixels in 18 bit color with a microSD breakout

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 3-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 few pins available!

1.8" TFT Display Breakout and Shield

128x160 pixels in 18 bit color with a microSD

This tutorial is for our 1.8" diagonal TFT display & microSD in both the shield and breakout board configurations. These displays are a great way to add a small, colorful and 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 few pins available!

Monochrome OLED Breakouts

Using our small mono-OLED displays

This is a quick tutorial for our 128x64 and 128x32 pixel monochrome OLED displays. These displays are small, only about 1" diameter, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. Each OLED display is made of 128x64 or 128x32 individual white OLEDs, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness!
