SPIDER Automation 4D Systems 3.2 Inch LCD Module & Arduino Adaptor Shield | uLCD-32PTU-AR Touch Display
Description
The SPIDER Automation 4D Systems 3.2 Inch LCD Module with Arduino Adaptor Shield (uLCD-32PTU-AR) is engineered to seamlessly bridge professional 4D Systems display modules with Arduino microcontroller boards, completely eliminating the need for complex, messy jumper wire setups. Compatible with gen4 displays like the gen4-uLCD-24DT and gen4-uLCD-43DT, as well as Picaso and Diablo series modules, it provides an exceptionally clean integration pathway.
At the core of the kit is the 4DLCD-32QA, a vibrant 3.2-inch TFT display boasting a 240×320 pixel resolution, 65K colors, 200 cd/m² brightness, and a 350:1 contrast ratio. Driven by the reliable ILI9341 controller IC and equipped with a 4-wire resistive touch screen and a 40-pin FPC interface, this comprehensive package gives developers an industrial-grade visual and tactile interface right out of the box.
Key Features
- Jumper-Free Adaptor Shield (Rev 2.0): Specifically designed to dock 4D Systems displays directly onto Arduino mainboards safely and cleanly.
- Brilliant 3.2-Inch TFT Screen: Features a 240 × 320 pixel resolution matrix with 65K color depth and a 12 O’Clock viewing direction.
- Optimized Optical Performance: Delivers 200 cd/m² (NIT) brightness and a 350:1 contrast ratio for crisp visual clarity.
- Integrated Touch Screen: Equipped with a responsive 4-wire resistive touch panel for interactive user applications.
- Efficient Driver Architecture: Utilizes the industry-standard ILI9341 driver IC for reliable control and fast rendering.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports gen4 range displays (gen4-uLCD-24DT, gen4-uLCD-43DT), Picaso, and Diablo display modules.
- Eco-Friendly Compliance: Fully RoHS compliant, ensuring strict environmental safety standards.
Benefits
-
