1.44 inch TFT 128x128 GLCD ILI9163

Well, I've just ordered a couple of Pro Mini at 3.3Volts.

In any case 300mA it's a lot of current, seems that the IC cannot work with 5V levels, it is to high.
Why they soldered that voltage regulator on the board? Seems useless... Or it is just for powering purposes (not for the logic lines)?
