0.96-Inch IPS Colour LCD Display, 80 × 160 RGB (ST7735)

This 0.96-inch IPS module is a small but exceptionally capable display for DIY projects. Unlike traditional monochrome OLED displays, it provides 65K full colours (RGB) on a bright IPS panel. This means improved readability in sunlight and more vivid colours from any viewing angle.

At the heart of the module is the proven ST7735, communicating via a fast 7-pin SPI interface. The display supports flexible orientation: you can set portrait or landscape mode in your code to suit your project.

Key advantages:

• Excellent image quality: IPS technology provides higher brightness and richer colours than ordinary TFT LCDs.

• Versatility: Supports a 3.3–5 V VCC supply and is therefore compatible with most microcontrollers.

• Compact dimensions: Measuring only 24 × 30 mm, it fits even very small enclosures.

• Switchable backlight: The BLK pin allows the backlight to be switched off to save power when the display is not needed.
