Shield for TFT touch display

Hello, i have an TFT display and i would like to know two things :

  1. Can i buy a shield for this? I only found Shield+TFT in aliexpress, i cant find only Shield. I prefer Aliexpress because im not in USA or Europe.

  2. Can i play this display with ESP32?

Thank you

You only have to Google for the Part number
e.g. here on AliBaba

You would need to search for a datasheet. Find the pinout of the ribbon cable.

You normally need some external electronics e.g. for the backlight

Seriously, it is much safer to buy a ready made 40-pin display. You can buy a 40-pin Adapter Shield for Mega2560 or Due.

The ESP32 does not have many GPIO pins. Enough for SPI or 8080-8 parallel interface. Never enough for 8080-16.
I suspect that you cannot access the IM# pins. In which case you can't select 8080-8 or SPI interface modes.

Here we go. PDF manual
No way to control in software. You have to provide the required Clock and RGB video signals.

Hello David, thanks for the reply.

So it is more complex than I imagined. I thought that this display was the same as the ones sold and was just without shield ( https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005001933286764.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7fba5fa4m0B53F&algo_pvid=dca984a9-3271-4981-9a14-9ee362edb160&algo_expid=dca984a9-3271-4981-9a14-9ee362edb160-2&btsid=0b0a556c16197034828984942ec5ce&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ ).

As I understand from your post, it is not the case, I would have to create the shield and still have difficulties with the software, correct?

Sad, I don't know what to do with this display then.

Thank you for your time.

No, it is worse than that. Your link in #3 shows 8080-16 interface pins.
The link in #2 shows a bare panel with no command or data pins.

You have to provide the raw RGB video signal e.g. from a CCTV.

Ok, thank you for your time.
