TFT 4.3 inch LCD Module OPTL TouchScreen Display

I bought a TFT 4.3 inch LCD Module OPTL TouchScreen Display from here:

I have a few questions about it - please see attachment photo of it.

  1. It came with two flat cables and two flat cable attachments. I can't believe how tiny the pins are. How in the world do I connect it to my Ardunio Uno board? Do I need some additional interface adapters?

  2. I have successfully used the Color 320x240 TFT Touchscreen, ILI9341 Controller Chip, from here: PJRC Store. However, I needed a bigger touch screen so I'm trying to move up from a 2.8" size to this new one at 4.3" size.

I have the basics of programming an TFT color screen, so my second question is, is there a tutorial somewhere that shows me how this 4.3 TFT is programmed and what Lib file do I need?

Thanks for any help...

this is basically not for arduino there are too many data pins. you will need shield to make it work.

Yes, I've discovered that in order to make this TFT work I will need to buy an RA8875 controller board, so I will do that.

Thanks...
