2.4 tft lcd display shield brands
The 2.4 inch TFT Touch Screen Module with micro SD card slot is now available as a SHIELD for Arduino UNO. It has a four wire resistive touch screen, a micro SD card socket, a reset switch and a convenient Arduino Uno shield footprint.
2.4 inch TFT Touch Screen LCD Module for Arduino has excellent vivid color contrast. You can Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection.
This TFT display is big,bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful (18-bit 262,000 different shades).It has way more resolution than a black and white 128A—64 display. As a bonus, this display has a resistive touchscreen attached to it already, so you can detect finger presses anywhere on the screen.
Technical Details includes 2.4 and #x2033 diagonal LCD TFT display 240A—320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color SPFD5408 controller with built in video RAM buffer 8 bit digital interface, plus 4 control lines.It uses digital pins 5-13 and analog 0-3.
The shield connects ILI9341"s data pins 0-7 to Arduino digital pins 2-8 (allowing parallel communication, not SPI). ILI"s RESET goes to pin to Arduino analog pin A4.CS (chip select) to A3. RS (CD command/data) to A2. WR and RD to A1 and A0.
ILI9341 is integrated inside the display. It drives the display and has nothing to do with touchscreen (Although the shield connects some pins of ILI9341 together with pins of the touchscreen).
To read a byte from ILI after sending a read command (e.g. 09h - Read Display Status) set RD from HIGH to LOW, so ILI9341 outputs data until RD returns HIGH. (see code)
To draw a rectangle (or just one pixel) on the screen you have to tell to ILI the area (start_column, end_column, start_row, end_row, commands 0x2Ah and 0x2Bh) you want to draw. Then command 0x2Ch. Then send in sequence for every single pixel in the area a value of the color to display. The color has 2 byte format.
The touch screen is attached on the surface of the display. It connects through 4 wires, which share arduino pins 8, 9, A2, A3 with ILI. So you can"t write to LCD display and read the touch screen in the same time.

This is Sainsmart 2.4 inch TFT LCD module with the TFT LCD shield kit for arduino enthusiasts.It includes one piece of 2.4 inch TFT LCD display and a TFT LCD shield for Arduino MEGA2560 (R3).We will provided you the whole document including the example project of arduino due with the kit. We will supply you the technical support after your purchase.
Voltage type: 5v or 3v voltage input voltage,input is selectable. Because TFT can only work under 3.3 V voltage, so when the input voltage VIN is 5V, need through the 3.3 V voltage regulator IC step down to 3.3V , when the input voltage of 3.3 V, you need to use the zero resistance make J2 short , is equivalent to not through the voltage regulator IC for module and power supply directly.(Click here)
It is 100% compatible with the normal MCU like ARM AVR PIC and 8051,especially on arduino family such as arduino due and arduino mega2560(R3).The module uses the LCD controller Chip SSD1963 with 5 inch LCD including the touchscreen.
The shield defines that all the the data transmit ports are PC1-PC8 and PC12-PC19,the controll pins are PD0-PD3.The perfect design could realize that the data transmits in high speed.The SPI interface is designed in the ISP header of arduino due so that the SPI transfer with DMA could be achieved in high speed with no drag.
