Datasheet

type and thus have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 18-

bit color (262,144 shades!). And the LCD will always come with the same driver chip so there's no worries that your

code will not work from one to the other.

Both boards have the TFT soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as a ultra-low-dropout 3.3V

regulator and a 3/5V level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. These also include a microSD card

holder so you can easily load full color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card. And on the Shield

version, we've added a nifty 5-way joystick navigation switch!

You can pick up one of these displays in the Adafruit shop!
