240x240 1.3" TFT Development Kit

Part Number: CFAF240240A1-013T-E1-2

This is a TFT Seeedunio kit for our tiny TFT with adapter board. This kit includes the small TFT mounted to an adapter board, already connected to a Seeeduino loaded with demonstration code. That means all you need to do when the kit arrives is plug in the USB cord to power to see a functioning display.

The included TFT is a crisp 1.3", 16.7M full color, 240x240 IPS display. The adapter board is designed with the display in mind, so there is no PCB overlap. Plus the board includes a backlight driver so the entire display, including the backlight, can be driven with a single 3.3v power input.

Part Change Notice #11098: Changing Backlight Driver

Products Affected: CFAF240240A1-013T-E1-1, CFAF240240A1-013T-E1-2
Date Issued: August 5, 2021
Summary: Changing Backlight Driver
Description: We are changing the backlight driver used on the 10107.
Reason: The backlight driver on the current version does not regulate the current very well due to the low forward voltage of the backlight LEDs.
Impact: The functionality of the display and board will remain the same.
For reference only. For design purposes, please use the specifications in the datasheet.

Product Notes

Having a problem with the backlight? It has been brought to our attention that there is occasionally an issue with the backlight driver when using solid DC voltages to enable the backlight. It is recommended to use PWM to drive the backlight enable pin for the time being while we work on a solution.
