Overview
The JicTech RT028TR5T-Q2 is a versatile 2.8‑inch TFT LCD module designed for embedded applications that require a flexible interface and good optical performance. Built on a TN panel (normally white) with EWV wide‑viewing polarizer, it offers 240×RGB×320 pixel resolution (QVGA), 65K colors, and a 12 o’clock optimal viewing direction. The dual SPI+18‑bit RGB interface allows easy configuration via SPI and full‑speed video data transfer via the RGB bus, fitting a wide range of MCUs and processors. With 250 cd/m² typical brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio, and a slim 3.58mm thickness, this module is ideal for handheld devices, medical equipment, portable terminals, industrial control panels, and consumer electronics.

Handling & Storage Precautions
- Avoid mechanical shock or dropping – glass panel is fragile.
- If LCD fluid leaks, wash skin/clothes immediately with soap and water; do not ingest.
- Use grounded workstations and anti‑static bags for handling and storage.
- Storage: 0~35°C, 40~60% RH, in sealed polyethylene bag, no direct sunlight.
- Hand soldering: 320℃~350℃, max 10 seconds per pad, avoid repeated heating.
- Do not disassemble or modify the module – warranty void.
Packing Method
Modules are placed in anti‑static trays, stacked with foam protection, fixed with cardboard, and sealed in cartons. Detailed packing drawings available upon request.
