The Adafruit 1.28" Round TFT LCD Display is a circular 240×240 IPS screen at 220 PPI, driven by the GC9A01A controller over SPI. Its beveled edges give it a sleek, watch-like appearance, making it ideal for wearables, dashboards, gauges, and compact electronics.

The breakout includes an ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and 3/5V level shifter for compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic. A built-in microSD card slot allows loading full-colour bitmaps from FAT16/FAT32 cards, and an 18-pin EYESPI FPC connector provides a solder-free connection option.
