# Simplifying Qualia CircuitPython Projects ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/126/488/medium800/lcds___displays_IMG_5511.jpeg?1701725401) The Qualia ESP32-S3 board is capable of driving RGB 666 dot clock displays, but the code to initialize them can be a bit long and most people don't want the first 50 to 100 lines of their code dedicated to just initializing the display. You can find more information about their usage in the [Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 for RGB-666 Displays guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-qualia-esp32-s3-for-rgb666-displays). The Qualia helper library removes a lot of the overhead work of getting the display up and running allowing you to concentrate on your project code instead of trying out a myriad of drivers, initialization codes, and timings just to get the display to show something. It works by initializing the display as well as the appropriate touch driver if there is one for the display. The Qualia helper library is also built on top of the PortalBase library, which gives it many of the functions available to boards such as the PyPortal and MatrixPortal. This guide will go over using the library as well as covering the examples included with the library. ## Parts ### Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 for TTL RGB-666 Displays [Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 for TTL RGB-666 Displays](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5800) There's a few things everyone loves: ice cream, kittens, and honkin' large TFT screens.
