1.8 inch SPI LCD module
This 1.8 inch LCD display module offers a 128x160 pixel resolution with an embedded ST7735S driver. It communicates via an SPI interface and operates at 3.3V or 5V logic levels. The TFT panel produces RGB output with 65K colours and includes an LED backlight for visibility in various lighting conditions.
Embedded controller and examples
The integrated ST7735S controller handles display management, reducing the processing load on the host board. Supplier-provided examples support Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano and Arduino platforms, accelerating integration for prototyping or embedded projects. The module's compact 56.5 by 34 millimetre footprint suits space-constrained designs.
SPI interface constraints
The SPI interface limits data throughput compared to parallel or higher-speed serial buses, which affects refresh rates for full-screen updates. The 128 by 160 pixel resolution and 65K colour depth restrict the detail and colour fidelity achievable. The 3.3V or 5V operating voltage requires compatible logic levels on the host system.

Questions about this item
Will the ST7735S driver IC need replacement after continuous operation?
The ST7735S driver is integrated into the module and not user-replaceable; the display is designed for long-term operation without IC replacement.
What limits sustained full-colour output on the 128x160 panel?
The 3.3 V or 5 V supply and SPI bus bandwidth set the practical refresh ceiling for continuous 65 K colour frames.
How much heat does the LED backlight generate when the module runs all day?
The LED backlight operates from a 3.3 V or 5 V rail and produces only modest warmth during extended use.
