It seems that SD read function interferes with the screen since MOSI and SCK are shared. I've uploaded the video here. video
I bought the module from here: link
Is there a solution to this other than using seperated sd module?

Ok, this topic is quite old, but maybe someone did find a solution.
I'm having the same problem with a 1,8" TFT with SST7735S chip:
The display flickers when reading the SD card. Writing does not flicker.
I tried:
- Capacitors in different places.
- Delays before / after TFT/SD access.
- SPI.endTransaction and manually writing HIGH to the TFT-Slaveselect pin after usage.
Nothing helped.
My workaround for now is to implement a read cache for my database (~1kB). I read all data into RAM at application startup.
Can anyone with a similar configuration confirm this problem?
