WaveShare 1.3inch LCD Display Module 240x240 SPI

SKU CH-6NZ3-FQ916

A 1.3 inch IPS LCD with 240x240 resolution and SPI interface for embedded projects

  • CPU TypeOther
  • Compact 1.3 inch display fits tight enclosures
  • 240×240 resolution renders sharp graphics and text
  • SPI interface connects directly to Raspberry Pi and STM32 boards
  • Lightweight 1.13 ounce module adds minimal mass to portable builds
  • IPS panel provides wide viewing angles for clear visibility

Product Identity

The WaveShare 1.3inch LCD Display Module is a compact IPS screen with 240x240 HD resolution and an embedded controller. It communicates via SPI and connects through GPIO, making it suitable for developers integrating a small visual output into Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano or STM32 projects.

Suitability

This module suits hobbyists and engineers who need a lightweight 1.3 inch display for status readouts, sensor dashboards or simple GUIs. Builders who require a larger viewing area, touch input or a different communication bus such as I2C should look at other options.

Sustained Operation

The IPS panel maintains consistent colour and contrast during continuous use without the brightness fade seen in some smaller OLED alternatives. Its low mass of 1.13 ounces and minimal footprint of 4.5 x 2.4 x 1.2 inches keep thermal load negligible inside enclosed enclosures.

Highlights

  • Compact 1.3 inch display fits tight enclosures
  • 240×240 resolution renders sharp graphics and text
  • SPI interface connects directly to Raspberry Pi and STM32 boards
  • Lightweight 1.13 ounce module adds minimal mass to portable builds
  • IPS panel provides wide viewing angles for clear visibility

Questions about this item

Does this module need a host board with an SPI interface to operate?

Yes, the display communicates through SPI so the host must provide an SPI bus and matching voltage levels.

Can I connect this 240x240 screen to an older Raspberry Pi model that only has a 26-pin GPIO header?

The module uses the standard GPIO header; older boards with fewer pins still expose the required SPI pins for this display.

How can I confirm the IPS panel is rendering correctly after wiring it up?

Run the supplier's test script — it fills the 240x240 area with colour bars and text so you can verify every pixel responds.
