Models
------
With this display driver you can control the following displays:
- GC9A01A
- ILI9341
- ILI9342
- ILI9481
- ILI9481-18 (ILI9481 in 18 bit, i.e. 262K color, mode)
- ILI9486
- ILI9488
- ILI9488_A (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488)
- M5STACK
- S3BOX
- S3BOX_LITE
- ST7796
- ST7789V
- TFT 2.4
- TFT 2.4R
- WAVESHARE_RES_3_5 (Waveshare Pico-ResTouch-LCD-3.5)
More display drivers will come in the future.
Usage
-----
This component is the successor of the ILI9341 component supporting more display driver chips from the ILI and related
families.
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
displays from the same chip family with ESPHome. As this is a somewhat higher resolution display and requires additional pins
beyond the basic SPI connections, and a reasonable amount of RAM, it is not well suited for the ESP8266.
**Note:** use of 16 bit colors requires double the amount of RAM as 8 bit, and may need PSRAM to be available.

ILI9341 display
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example minimal configuration entry
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: ili9341
dc_pin: GPIOXX
reset_pin: GPIOXX
lambda: |-
it.fill(COLOR_BLACK);
it.print(0, 0, id(my_font), id(my_red), TextAlign::TOP_LEFT, "Hello World!");
Configuration variables:
************************
- **model** (**Required**): The model of the display. Options are:
- ``M5STACK``, ``TFT 2.4``, ``TFT 2.4R``, ``S3BOX``, ``S3BOX_LITE``, ``WSPICOLCD``
- ``ILI9341``, ``ILI9342``, ``ILI9486``, ``ILI9488``, ``ILI9488_A`` (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488)
- ``ILI9481``, ``ILI9481-18`` (18 bit mode)
- ``ST7789V``, ``ST7796``
- ``GC9A01A``
- **dc_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The DC pin.
- **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The RESET pin.
- **lambda** (*Optional*, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to use for rendering the content on the display.
See :ref:`display-engine` for more information.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to re-draw the screen. Defaults to ``5s``.
- **auto_clear_enabled** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to automatically clear the display in each loop (''true'', default),
or to keep the existing display content (must overwrite explicitly, e.g., only on data change).
- **pages** (*Optional*, list): Show pages instead of a single lambda. See :ref:`display-pages`.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **color_palette** (*Optional*): The type of color pallet that will be used in the ESP's internal 8-bits-per-pixel buffer. This can be used to improve color depth quality of the image. For example if you know that the display will only be showing grayscale images, the clarity of the display can be improved by targeting the available colors to monochrome only. Options are:
- ``NONE`` (default)
- ``GRAYSCALE``
- ``IMAGE_ADAPTIVE``
- **color_order** (*Optional*): Should be one of ``bgr`` (default) or ``rgb``.
- **color_palette_images** (*Optional*): A list of image files that will be used to generate the color pallet for the display. This should only be used in conjunction with ``-color_palette: IMAGE_ADAPTIVE`` above. The images will be analysed at compile time and a custom color pallet will be created based on the most commonly occuring colors. A typical setting would be a sample image that represented the fully populated display. This can significantly improve the quality of displayed images. Note that these images are not stored on the ESP device, just the 256byte color pallet created from them.
- **dimensions** (*Optional*): Dimensions of the screen, specified either as *width* **x** *height* (e.g ``320x240``) or with separate config keys. If not provided the dimensions will be determined by the model selected.
- **height** (**Required**, int): Specifies height of display in pixels.
- **width** (**Required**, int): Specifies width of display.
- **offset_width** (*Optional*, int): Specify an offset for the x-direction of the display, typically used when an LCD is smaller than the maximum supported by the driver chip. Default is 0
- **offset_height** (*Optional*, int): Specify an offset for the y-direction of the display. Default is 0.
- **invert_colors** (*Optional*): With this boolean option you can invert the display colors. **Note** some of the displays have this option set automatically to true and can't be changed.
- **18bit_mode** (*Optional*): With this boolean option you can manual enable or disable the 18 bit color mode.
- **rotation** (*Optional*): Rotate the display presentation in software. Choose one of ``0°``, ``90°``, ``180°``, or ``270°``. This option cannot be used with ``transform``.
- **transform** (*Optional*): Transform the display presentation using hardware. All defaults are ``false``. This option cannot be used with ``rotation``.
- **swap_xy** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, exchange the x and y axes.
- **mirror_x** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, mirror the x axis.
- **mirror_y** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, mirror the y axis.
**Note:** The ``rotation`` variable will do a software based rotation. It is better to use the **transform** to rotate the display in hardware. Use one of the following combinations:
- 90 degrees - use ``swap_xy`` with ``mirror_x``
- 180 degrees - use ``mirror_x`` with ``mirror_y``
- 270 degrees - use ``swap_xy`` with ``mirror_y``
With 90 and 270 rotations you will also need to swap the **dimensions** ''height'' and ''width'' (see example below.
To modify the SPI setting see :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` . The default **data_rate** is set to ``40MHz`` and the **spi_mode** mode is ``MODE0`` but some displays require ``MODE3`` (*).
**Note:** The maximum achievable data rate will depend on the chip type (e.g. ESP32 vs ESP32-S3) the pins used (on ESP32 using the default SPI pins allows higher rates) and the connection type (on-board connections will support higher rates than long cables or DuPont wires.) If in doubt, start with a low speed and test higher rates to find what works. A MISO pin should preferably not be specified, as this will limit the maximum rate in some circumstances, and is not required if the SPI bus is used only for the display.
Configuration examples
**********************
To use hardware rotation, use both ``dimensions`` and ``transform``, e.g. this config will turn a landscape display with
height 320 and width 480 into portrait. Note that the dimensions are those of the final display.
.. code-block:: yaml
transform:
swap_xy: true
mirror_x: true
dimensions:
height: 480
width: 320
To utilize the color capabilities of this display module, you'll likely want to add a ``color:`` section to your
YAML configuration; please see :ref:`color <config-color>` for more detail on this configuration section.
To use colors in your lambda:
.. code-block:: yaml
color:
- id: my_red
red: 100%
green: 3%
blue: 5%
...
display:
...
lambda: |-
it.rectangle(0, 0, it.get_width(), it.get_height(), id(my_red));
To bring in color images:
.. code-block:: yaml
image:
- file: "image.jpg"
id: my_image
resize: 200x200
type: RGB24
...
display:
...
lambda: |-
it.image(0, 0, id(my_image));
To configure a dimmable backlight:
.. code-block:: yaml
# Define a PWM output on the ESP32
output:
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIOXX
id: backlight_pwm
# Define a monochromatic, dimmable light for the backlight
light:
- platform: monochromatic
output: backlight_pwm
name: "Display Backlight"
id: back_light
restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
To configure an image adaptive color pallet to show greater than 8 bit color depth with a RAM limited screen buffer:
.. code-block:: yaml
image:
- file: "sample_100x100.png"
id: myimage
resize: 100x100
type: RGB24
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: ili9341
dc_pin: GPIOXX
reset_pin: GPIOXX
rotation: 90
id: tft_ha
color_palette: IMAGE_ADAPTIVE
color_palette_images:
- "sample_100x100.png"
- "display_design.png"
lambda: |-
it.image(0, 0, id(myimage));
Using the ``transform`` options to hardware rotate the display on a Lilygo T-Embed. This has an st7789v but only uses 170 pixels of the 240 width.
This config rotates the display into landscape mode using the driver chip.
.. code-block:: yaml
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: st7789v
dimensions:
height: 170
width: 320
offset_height: 35
offset_width: 0
transform:
swap_xy: true
mirror_x: false
mirror_y: true
color_order: bgr
data_rate: 80MHz
cs_pin: GPIOXX
dc_pin: GPIO13
reset_pin: GPIO9
For Lilygo TTGO Boards if you move from the st7789v to this you need the following settings to make it work.
.. code-block:: yaml
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: st7789v
#TTGO TDisplay 135x240
dimensions:
height: 240
width: 135
offset_height: 40
offset_width: 52
# Required or the colors are all inverted, and Black screen is White
invert_colors: true
