Key Features:

• Compact Display: 1.47-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 172 × 320 pixels for crisp, detailed visuals.
• IPS Technology: In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel provides wide viewing angles and vibrant, accurate colour reproduction.
• SPI Interface: Simple 4-wire serial SPI communication for easy connection to microcontrollers and development boards.
• Broad Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other popular platforms.
• Low Operating Voltage: Runs on 3.3V logic and power (Note: applying 5V directly to VCC without level shifting can damage the panel).
• Mounting Holes: Four corner mounting holes for secure installation in enclosures and projects.
• Pin Labels: Clearly marked pin headers (GND, VDD, SCL, SDA, RES, DC, CS, BL) for straightforward wiring.
• Display Controller: ST7789 / ST7789V3 driver IC, widely supported in graphics libraries and code examples.
• Display Type: TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) with full-colour capability.
• Typical Pinout: VCC (3.3V), GND, CS (Chip Select), RST/RES (Reset), DC/RS (Data/Command), SDA/MOSI (SPI Data), SCL/SCK (SPI Clock), BLK/BL (Backlight control).
• Backlight Control: BL pin supports PWM dimming or can be tied to 3.3V for constant illumination.
• Resolution: 172 pixels (width) × 320 pixels (height) for detailed graphics and text rendering.
• Screen Size: 1.47 inches diagonal.
• Interface Type: 4-wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface).
• Power Supply: 3.3V DC (do not use 5V without appropriate level conversion).
• Driver IC: ST7789 / ST7789V3.
• Available Sources: Compatible with Waveshare 1.47-inch LCD Module and various generic breakout boards.
