1.28inch Round LCD Display Module – RGB, 240 x 240 Resolution

As more advanced technology becomes streamlined and smaller, the opportunities for fun Maker Projects rockets higher. Smart devices, wearable tech’, and the wonderful ways they interact with each other have delighted the imagination for all Tinkerers contemplating the useful fun things we can make with them. However, it may be tricky to find the correct display shape to fit your vision. Most Display Modules are square and don’t have the same eye-catching appeal that round watch-like displays do. This colourful 1.28inch Round LCD Display Module is perfect for making creative watches, wearable fitness trackers, or other small devices with its multifunctional display.

These 1.28inch Round LCD Display Modules are driven by the GC9A01 IC driver, and feature 65K RGB colours with 240 x 240 resolution. Being more than capable of displaying a wide range of imagery and even videos to some extent, this Round LCD Display Module also fully supports controller boards from awesome open-source boards like Raspberry Pi and Arduino. With the wide libraries of open resources from these two giant brands in the DIY Maker community, you can integrate a variety of Sensors and other modules to give your smart devices even more capabilities.

The aesthetic look of this handy round display makes the 1.28inch Round LCD Display Module so versatile in different projects. Used in conjunction with the DFRobot Arduino Beetle or a Mini–IR Digital Receiver Module, this simple round display can transform into a cool smart watch, capable of awesome functionality for its size. However, this Round Display’s use doesn’t stop at wearable technology. 1.28inch Round LCD Display Modules could also be perfect for larger multi-display panels for applications like simulated driving experiences, digital fuel gauges, or for almost any other purposes in which the round shape offers practical or aesthetic benefits.
