:description: Instructions for setting up ILI9xxx like TFT LCD display drivers.

.. _ili9xxx:
Models
------
With this display driver you can control the following displays:
- ILI9341
- ILI9342
- ILI9481
- ILI9486
- ILI9488
- ILI9488_A (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488)
- M5STACK
- S3BOX
- S3BOX_LITE
- ST7796
- TFT 2.4
- TFT 2.4R
More display drivers will come in the future.
Usage
-----
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
displays from the same chip family with ESPHome. As this is a somewhat higher resolution display and may require pins
beyond the typical SPI connections, it is better suited for use with the ESP32.
**Note:** To use 16bit instead of 8bit colors use a esp32 with enough PSRAM the display.

ILI9341 display
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example minimal configuration entry
display:
- platform: ili9xxx
model: ili9341
dc_pin: 27
reset_pin: 33
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``
- ``ILI9341``, ``ILI9342``, ``ILI9481``, ``ILI9486``, ``ILI9488``, ``ILI9488_A`` (alternative gamma configuration for ILI9488), ``ST7796``
.. note:: According to its documentation, the ESP32 S3 Box Lite has an ST7789V display driver. We've found, however, that it works with the ILIxxxx component here, instead. This could change in the future.
- **dc_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The DC pin.
- **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The RESET pin.
- **rotation** (*Optional*): Set the rotation of the display. Everything drawn in the ``lambda:`` will be rotated
per this option. One of ```` (default), ``90°``, ``180°``, or ``270°``.
- **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_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 with WIDTHxHEIGHT. Usually not needed since ``model:`` has good defaults.
- **data_rate** (*Optional*): Set the data rate of the SPI interface to the display. One of ``80MHz``, ``40MHz`` (default), ``20MHz``, ``10MHz``, ``5MHz``, ``2MHz``, ``1MHz``, ``200kHz``, ``75kHz`` or ``1kHz``. If you have multiple ILI9xxx displays they must all use the same **data_rate**.
Configuration examples
**********************
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: 32
id: gpio_32_backlight_pwm
# Define a monochromatic, dimmable light for the backlight
light:
- platform: monochromatic
output: gpio_32_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: 4
reset_pin: 22
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));
