DF Robot 3.5Inch Cap Touch TFT LCD Display - Chipset ILI9488

With 480x320 color pixels, this 3.5” LCD display module adopts ILI9488 driver chip and integrates GT911 touch chip that supports 5 capacitive touch-points at most. This display supports for SPI (4-wire) communication mode and performs excellently in the angle of view (60/60/60/60). In addition, the module provides compatibility with GDI (work with main-controllers with GDI), plug and play. Furthermore, it features high resolution, wide viewing angle, and simple wiring, which can be used in all sorts of display applications, such as, IoT controlling device, game console, desktop event notifier, touch interface, etc.

The 3.5” LCD module can be powered at 3.3~5V and is compatible with multiple main-controllers: UNO, Leonardo, ESP32, ESP8266, FireBeetle M0. Use the GDI interface to work with M0, which could effectively reduce wiring steps. Besides, there is an onboard MicroSD card slot for displaying more pictures.
