3.2 inch QVGA LCD Color Display

Embedded Artists' 3.2 inch QVGA LCD Display adds graphics capabilities to your Developer's Kit.

The interface to this display can be directly to an external 8-bit or 16-bit memory bus or it can just as well be an emulated GPIO bus from processors without external memory interface. A serial (SPI-like) interface is also present. A simple 2x20 pin list (2.54mm pitch) is used to interface the display.

Integrated display controller with embedded display RAM.

A small graphical library for the display, with basic drawing operations, can be downloaded from our support page after purchase of the display.
