2.8 Inch SPI TFT Touch Display Screen Module (240×320)

Overview

The 2.8 Inch SPI TFT Touch Display Screen Module (240×320) is a compact, high-contrast color display engineered for embedded systems, DIY electronics and IoT projects. Driven by the ILI9341 display controller and paired with the XPT2046 touch controller, this module combines clear visuals and reliable resistive touch input in a small footprint suitable for handheld devices, control panels and sensor dashboards.

Key Features

• Screen size: 2.8 inches diagonal with 240 × 320 (QVGA) resolution
• Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) for fewer GPIO pins and stable communication
• Display controller: ILI9341 offering smooth color rendering and graphics acceleration support
• Touch controller: XPT2046 with a 4-wire resistive touch panel for precise stylus or finger input
• Color depth: 65K colors (16-bit RGB) with a white LED backlight for excellent visibility
• Operating voltage: 3.3V to 5V compatible for broad microcontroller compatibility
• Low power operation suitable for battery-powered devices

Why choose this display?

• Compact and lightweight design ideal for small embedded systems
• SPI mode reduces wiring complexity compared to parallel interfaces
• Resistive touchscreen supports both finger and stylus input for flexible UI design
• Trusted controller ICs (ILI9341 and XPT2046) with wide library support

Compatibility and Libraries

This module is ready for rapid prototyping and development with popular platforms:

• Arduino (Uno, Mega, Nano and compatible boards)
• ESP32 and ESP8266 development boards
• Raspberry Pi (use SPI and suitable level shifting where required)

Supported libraries and examples include Adafruit_ILI9341, TFT_eSPI, and other community drivers for Arduino and ESP platforms. Example sketches are widely available to get you started with graphics, touch calibration and UI elements.

Interface and Wiring Notes

• SPI signals typically include SCK (clock), MOSI (data), CS (chip select) and DC (data/command)
• Touch interface uses SPI signals connected to the XPT2046 touch controller (MISO/MOSI/SCLK/CS)
• Power: connect to 3.3V or 5V depending on your board; level shifting may be required for 5V logic in some setups
• Backlight control: white LED backlight can be enabled via a dedicated pin or tied high if constant brightness is acceptable

Applications

• Arduino and ESP32 graphical interfaces and menus
• Touch-based control panels and handheld instruments
• Sensor monitoring, data visualization and IoT dashboards
• Robotics displays, portable instrumentation and educational projects
