-This component is the successor of the ILI9341 component allowing to control more display drivers and use 16bit colors when enough free ram.

 The ``ILI9xxx`` display platform allows you to use
 ILI9341 (`datasheet <https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/ILI9341.pdf>`__,
 `Aliexpress <https://www.aliexpress.com/af/Ili9341.html>`__) and other

-beyond the typical SPI connections, it is better suited for use with the ESP32.

 **Note:** use of 16 bit colors requires double the amount of RAM as 8 bit, and may need PSRAM to be available.
