The Story
Waveshare 3.5inch Capacitive Touch LCD IPS Display Module 320×480
The Waveshare 3.5-inch Capacitive Touch LCD IPS Display Module is a compact yet powerful display solution featuring a 320 × 480 pixel resolution that delivers crisp visuals and excellent clarity. Designed with an IPS panel, it offers wide viewing angles and consistent color performance, making it ideal for graphical interfaces and interactive applications.
The module integrates the ST7796S display driver for reliable display control and the FT6336U capacitive touch controller for accurate, multi-touch responsiveness. Optimized for embedded development, this 3.5 inch LCD Raspberry Pi display is perfectly suited for Raspberry Pi projects, control panels, and custom HMI applications where space, touch precision, and visual quality matter.
Features:
- 320×480 resolution, 262K colors, clear and colorful displaying effect
- High touch screen transmittance, fast response and long lifetime
- Embedded with ST7796S driver chip and FT6336U capacitive touch control chip, using SPI and I2C communication respectively, minimizes required IO pins
- Onboard TF card slot for storing more pictures, videos, music, etc.
- Adapting 15PIN connector and 18PIN FPC slot for connecting the LCD module to the host board
- Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V / 5V operating voltage
- Comes with online development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi / ESP32 / Raspberry Pi Pico / Arduino)
