WaveShare 1.3inch LCD Display HAT 240x240 SPI 3.3V

SKU CH-30ET-Z7PBP

A 1.3 inch IPS LCD HAT adds a 240×240 SPI display with joystick and three buttons to a Raspberry Pi 40‑pin header

  • CPU TypeOther
  • 3 inch IPS screen gives wide viewing angles
  • 240 by 240 pixel resolution in 23.4 mm square
  • SPI interface connects to 40 pin GPIO header
  • Built in joystick plus three pushbuttons for input
  • Runs on 3.3 volt or 5 volt supply

Compact Raspberry Pi Display HAT

The WaveShare 1.3inch LCD Display HAT adds a 240x240 pixel IPS screen to Raspberry Pi boards from the Zero to the 4B via the standard 40-pin GPIO header. It includes an embedded ST7789VM controller, a small joystick and three pushbuttons for direct on-screen interaction. The 1.3-inch active area measures 23.4 by 23.4 millimetres with 65K colour depth.

SPI Interface and Voltage Constraints

Communication runs over the SPI bus at 3.3V logic levels, which limits bandwidth compared to parallel or DSI interfaces and makes the HAT unsuitable for high-frame-rate video. The 40-pin header occupies the full GPIO row, so other HATs or sensors cannot share the connector without a stacking header. The board draws power from the Pi’s 3.3V or 5V rails.

Resolution Headroom and Physical Limits

The 240x240 pixel grid is sufficient for status dashboards, simple menus, sensor readouts or retro-style games, but it cannot render detailed graphics, small text or full desktop environments. The 65 x 30.2 millimetre footprint fits inside many compact enclosures, yet the fixed resolution and SPI throughput cap the practical refresh rate for animation-heavy projects.

Questions about this item

Which Raspberry Pi boards does the 40-pin HAT fit?

The HAT uses the standard 40-pin GPIO header and is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3B, 2B, Zero, Zero W and Zero WH.

What does the 240x240 resolution look like on a 1.3 inch panel?

The 23.4 mm square IPS panel packs 240×240 pixels at 0.0975 mm pitch, giving a sharp, high-density image with wide viewing angles.

How fast can the SPI bus drive the ST7789VM controller?

The display communicates over SPI at 3.3 V logic; the ST7789VM controller handles the signalling, so refresh speed depends on the Pi's SPI clock setting.
