Newhaven 1.8in 128x160 TFT Display
Overview
A compact 1.8 inch color TFT module with a 128x160 pixel matrix and a 24-pin connector. The module is offered by Newhaven Display (NHD-1.8-128160EF-CTXI#) and is specified for a 2.8V supply and a 6:00 viewing orientation. It is a ready-to-use display module intended for embedding into small devices and UI panels.
Why Choose This Part
This module provides a very compact color display with enough resolution (128x160) for simple graphics and readable text while keeping PCB space low. The 24-pin connector and off-the-shelf module form factor speed integration and reduce custom display development. Its low-voltage operation (listed as 2.8V) and standard mechanical size make it suitable for battery-powered and space-constrained designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Download the Newhaven datasheet for the exact pinout, electrical characteristics, and timing requirements before wiring. Check whether the module uses SPI or a parallel interface and match your MCU interface accordingly; use example libraries and example code from the display vendor or community for common platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Verify level compatibility between your host MCU and the display supply voltage and obtain a Newhaven evaluation board or breakout if available to simplify initial testing.
