LCD-PI43
4.3" TFT LCD with touchscreen and five buttons. Standard framebuffer driver. Uses few GPIO pins. Good ballance between resolution and frame rate. 480x272, 65k colors, 10 frames per second.
LCD-PI43 also supports on the fly SPI compression and 15-bit
colors. The speedup in user interfaces can be huge (see
LCD-PI50 demo video).
Overview
The LCD-PI43 connects directly to the GPIO connector of the RPi.
LCD-PI43 uses only SPI pins and one GPIO pin. The rest of pins are
free for other use. Push buttons require no additional pins, their
status can be read over SPI. The shield also includes 4 mounting
holes for easy mounting.
The LCD-PI43's driver makes it a primary display for RPi which means
that there is no need for any special libraries or software to
control the LCD. Common software like Qt, Xwindows, etc. can be used
for developing applications.
