Description
0.96″ TFT LCD Display Module with ST7735S Driver – Arduino/Raspberry Pi
0.96 lcd is an IPS TFT-LCD with a resolution of 80×160 pixels. This 0.96-inch mini TFT LCD uses an IPS panel in portrait mode. Despite its compact size, its high resolution and moderate 400cd/m² brightness ensure a high-quality image regardless of viewing angle. This TFT module incorporates an ST7735S controller chip and supports a four-wire SPI interface, making it compatible with various platforms including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and LVGL.
In terms of structure, this 0.96-inch TFT LCD… The display comes with an easy-to-plug FPC, allowing users to plug it directly into a development board with a connector or solder it directly to a driver board. We support customization of the surface cover, allowing users to customize its shape, size, silkscreen pattern, color, and surface finishes such as AR/AF/AG based on the product’s intended use. We also offer customized FPCs and communication interfaces.
This model does not include a driver board, allowing developers to develop their own based on their needs. In the same series, we also provide the 10-pin model SPEC-H010A11AIST4N10.Lack of experience? No problem! We also offer a UART smart display in the same series with the EZUI driver board, offering easy operation. Click the link HTM-H010A1-UART-A01 for more information about this module. We also provide references to EzUI development software.
This module is ideal for applications such as wearables, medical devices, and mini home appliances. It has an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and a storage temperature range of -30°C to +80°C. The industrial-grade display is stable and reliable, and all products are ROHS compliant.

Technical FAQs
Q1: How long is the backlight lifespan of this 0.96 LCD module? Does it support dimming?
A: The backlight uses LED design with driving conditions of 3.0~3.4V and 40mA, and typical brightness of 400 cd/m².Although not explicitly stated in the PDF, typical LED backlight lifespan exceeds 20,000 hours.Dimming can be realized via PWM control, requiring cooperation with external circuits.
Q2: How to avoid image retention on this LCD?
A: Image retention is common for normally black panels.It is recommended to add a screen‑saver mechanism in software design, such as refreshing content regularly, using dynamic images, or switching to a black screen.If static patterns must be displayed, refresh the screen content at intervals no longer than 2 minutes.
Q3: Is this 0.96 LCD module suitable for outdoor devices?
A: Yes. With 400 cd/m² brightness (medium‑to‑high level) and full‑viewing‑angle design, this 0.96 LCD performs well in outdoor cloudy or shaded environments.For use under strong direct sunlight, optical bonding or brightness enhancement film is recommended to improve readability.
Q4: Is the driver IC ST7735S of this module easy to drive?
A: The ST7735S is a mature TFT driver chip that supports multiple resolutions and uses an SPI interface.Abundant driver libraries and sample codes are available on the market (e.g., Arduino, STM32 platforms), resulting in a low development threshold for this 0.96 LCD.
Q5: Does this module support sleep mode for lower power consumption?
A: Yes. The ST7735S supports sleep mode and can enter a low‑power state via commands, ideal for battery‑powered devices.In sleep mode, the 0.96 LCD display turns off and current consumption is greatly reduced.
