Product Description

1.8 Inch TFT Display Module ST7735

Compact Color Display with SPI Interface for Arduino

This 1.8 inch TFT LCD display module is a fullcolor graphical display with a 128x160 resolution, ideal for adding vibrant visual output to Arduino and other microcontroller projects [citation:1][citation:2]. Controlled by the ST7735 driver IC, it uses a simple SPI interface requiring only 45 I/O pins [citation:2][citation:5].

HighResolution Color Display 128x160 pixel resolution with 262K colors for sharp, detailed visuals.
Simple SPI Interface Minimal wiring with 4wire SPI communication for easy integration.
Operating voltage: 3.3V to 5V DC [citation:2][citation:6].
The display uses the ST7735 driver with a wide viewing angle and high contrast [citation:1][citation:3].
Support for hardware or software SPI provides flexibility for various microcontrollers [citation:6].
Most modules are 3.3V logic; for 5V Arduinos, use 1k series resistors on signal lines or a level shifter [citation:3][citation:5].

Troubleshooting

Display shows white screen:

  • Adjust contrast or check initialization in code.
  • Verify SPI wiring (CS, RST, DC, SDA, SCL) [citation:2].
  • Check if the correct driver (ST7735) is initialized.

No display or garbled text:

  • Ensure correct library and pin assignments.
  • Some modules require specific initialization sequences; try different library examples.
