Waveshare 1.44inch LCD Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico

Description

Waveshare Pico-LCD-1.44 is a compact 1.44inch LCD display module for Raspberry Pi Pico built around the ST7735S driver and a 128 128 resolution TFT panel. It connects through SPI, mounts directly onto Raspberry Pi Pico, and gives developers a simple way to add a small color interface to handheld controls, indicators, mini dashboards, and interactive Pico projects.

This module also includes 4 user buttons, which makes it especially useful for compact menu systems, small game-style interfaces, and button-driven embedded applications where screen space is limited but interaction still matters.

Features

• 1.44inch TFT LCD with 128 128 resolution.
• ST7735S driver for stable display control.
• 4-wire SPI interface requiring minimal IO resources.
• Direct Raspberry Pi Pico compatibility via onboard female header layout.
• 4 user buttons for local interactive input.
• 65K RGB colors for colorful status and UI output.
• Compact size suited for space-constrained Pico builds.
• Comes with development resources for Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython.

Specifications

Applications

This small Pico LCD module is well suited for mini dashboards, compact instrumentation, button-controlled interfaces, portable embedded projects, wearable-style prototypes, and simple Pico menu systems.
