General Description
The LS028I30-M-V1 is a versatile display module built around a wide-viewing-angle IPS panel. Its 2.83-inch size with QVGA resolution is a standard format for many embedded applications. The module is controlled by the ST7789P3 driver IC, which is accessed via an 8-bit 8080 parallel interface. This interface provides faster data transfer compared to SPI, suitable for applications with dynamic graphics or higher refresh requirements.

The specification includes a detailed pin description for the 22-pin FPC, covering data bus, control signals, power, and backlight pins. It provides comprehensive 8080 parallel interface timing characteristics for both write and read operations (including reading ID and frame memory), with parameters like address setup/hold time, chip select pulse width, and read/write cycle times (all marked as TBD in this excerpt, but defined in the full spec). The electro-optical characteristics table defines key performance metrics like contrast ratio (Typ. 1200:1), response time (Max. 35ms), transmittance (Typ. 4.8%), white point chromaticity, viewing angle (Typ. 80° all sides), and luminance (Typ. 500 cd/m²).
