Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this TFT LCD module compatible with Arduino boards?
A: Yes! This 0.96-inch TFT LCD module uses the ST7735 driver IC, which is fully supported by popular Arduino libraries (such as Adafruit ST7735 and TFT_eSPI). It works seamlessly with Arduino UNO, Nano, Mega, ESP8266, ESP32, STM32, and many other common development boards via its 8-pin SPI interface.
Q: What is the difference between this TFT LCD and an OLED display?
A: Unlike OLED displays, this is a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) IPS LCD panel. TFT LCD modules offer consistent brightness across the entire screen, excellent color reproduction at 65K colors, and are generally more affordable. They are ideal when you need vivid full-color visuals without the cost of an OLED module.
Q: What resolution does this display module support?
A: This module features an 80 × 160 pixel resolution with 65K full color (16-bit color depth), making it sharp and clear for its compact 0.96-inch size — perfect for displaying text, icons, graphs, and simple images in your projects.
