Overview

The DT028BTFT is a 2.8-inch transmissive TFT LCD module from Displaytech offering a QVGA resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. It supports both 16-bit parallel RGB and standard MCU interfaces, providing flexibility for different processor architectures and throughput requirements. With a typical operating current of 8mA in normal mode, it is designed for integration into power-sensitive embedded systems.

Why Choose This Part

This module features a high-density 45-pin FPC connection that supports high-speed RGB data transfer for smooth animations and video. It operates within a wide 2.6V to 3.3V supply range and maintains reliable performance across a temperature range of -20C to +70C. Its transmissive mode and LED backlight ensure high visibility in indoor and moderately lit environments.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used as a primary user interface for monitoring system status and controlling machinery in industrial environments.
Handheld Diagnostic Tools
Ideal for portable test equipment due to its compact 2.8-inch form factor and low power consumption.
Medical Monitoring Devices
Provides clear color visualization for patient data and waveforms in bedside or portable medical instruments.
Smart Home Hubs
Acts as a central touch-capable or display-only interface for managing climate, lighting, and security settings.

Getting Started

To interface with this display, engineers should utilize an MCU with a dedicated LCD controller or a high-pin-count parallel interface. Initial configuration involves setting the driver IC registers via the 16-bit bus to define color depth and timing parameters. For prototyping, ensure the FPC connector matches a 0.5mm pitch ZIF socket on your PCB or breakout board.
