0.96-inch SPI Long Strip IPS TFT Module

FT-01003 is a 0.96-inch 1:2 long strip IPS micro TFT color screen. It adopts the mature ST7735S driver solution and 4-wire SPI communication architecture, only occupying 4 IO ports of the main controller, and can be driven by a single 3.3V low-voltage power supply. It is perfectly compatible with the full series of STM32, ESP32, Arduino, and 51 single-chip microcomputers. The screen is equipped with an IPS full-view liquid crystal panel, and its long vertical shape is suitable for devices with narrow and long structures. The native touch-free design simplifies the hardware structure. With its ultra-low power consumption feature, it is widely used in battery-powered portable wearable devices, handheld testing instruments, home appliance status screens and small sensor terminals.

Core Advantages

Extremely simple wiring, strong master controller compatibility: Adopts 4-wire SPI communication protocol, occupies very few pins, and can be easily driven by small-resource microcontrollers. Equipped with 2.54mm standard straight pin headers, no need to solder FPC cables, and it can be debugged by directly plugging into the development board, greatly shortening the product development cycle.

IPS full-view display, excellent outdoor visibility: 85° wide viewing angle in four directions without color shift, the contrast ratio of the normally black panel can reach 500:1, paired with 400cd/㎡ high-brightness backlight and supporting PWM stepless dimming, it remains clear and readable in strong light environments, solving the common problems of whitening under side viewing and color distortion of ordinary TN screens.

Ultra-low power consumption suitable for battery-powered products: The normal operating current is only 22~30mA. Combined with the backlight dynamic dimming strategy, it can significantly extend the battery life of portable devices such as bracelets and thermometers. Equipped with 8KV contact ESD protection, it is not easily damaged by static electricity during handheld use.

Narrow and long shape highly adaptable to narrow cavities: The 10.8×21.7mm slender visible area is specially designed to fit the cavity of smart bracelet straps and the narrow shell of pen-type thermometers, which will not waste the internal space of the device and provides higher freedom for structural design.

Wide-temperature industrial quality: Operating temperature range of -20℃~70℃, it can operate stably in both cold and hot environments, suitable for consumer wearable applications as well as small industrial sensor terminals.

Target Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can touch function be added to this 0.96-inch long bar screen?

A: The native structure of this model adopts a straight pin header solution, which does not support optional capacitive/resistive touch cover for the time being. If touch interaction is required, you can choose our square TFT module with FPC interface from the same series.

Q2: Can a 51 single-chip microcomputer drive this display? Will there be screen refresh lag?

A: It is fully compatible with 51 single-chip microcomputers. The screen adopts SPI high-speed communication, with 80*160 low resolution and ST7735S driver chip. Ordinary 8-bit 51 single-chip microcomputers have no obvious lag during normal screen refresh. If high-speed animation effects are required, it is recommended to use it with ESP32 and STM32 main controllers.

Q3: Can the screen backlight be turned off in sleep mode to reduce power consumption? What is the minimum achievable power consumption?

A: The backlight pin BL supports level switch and PWM dimming. When the device is in sleep mode, the backlight is turned off, and the screen standby power consumption can be reduced to less than 0.8mA, which greatly extends the battery life of lithium battery devices; the backlight brightness is steplessly adjustable from 0~100%, which is suitable for various usage scenarios such as indoor and outdoor environments.
