Display and touchpad drivers for ESP32 using LVGL

For a ready to use ESP32 project take look at the lv_port_esp32 repository.

Table of content

NOTE: You need to set the display horizontal and vertical size, color depth and swap of RGB565 color on the LVGL configuration menuconfig (it's not handled automatically).

Supported display controllers

Display Controller Type Interface Color depth (LV_COLOR_DEPTH) Swap RGB565 color (LV_COLOR_16_SWAP)
ILI9341 TFT SPI 16: RGB565 Yes
ILI9163C TFT SPI 16: RGB565 Yes
ILI9486 TFT SPI 16: RGB565 Yes
ILI9488 TFT SPI 16: RGB565 No

EPDiy supported epaper (needs PCB) e-Paper Parallel 4: RGB232 16 grayscales No

Please note that EPDiy supported epapers include also the Lilygo EPD47 that comes with it's own PCB and ESP32 WROVER. Is possible also to build your own EPDiy PCB, please find the project KiCad source files, schematics, and documentation here To use an EPDiy supported epaper you need to add it as a component and also update the CMakeLists of lvgl component to REQUIRE that library.

Supported indev controllers

  • XPT2046
  • FT3236
  • other FT6X36 or the FT6206 controllers should work as well (not tested)
  • STMPE610
  • FT81x (Single, Dual, and Quad SPI)

If your display or input device (touch) controller is not supported consider contributing to this repo by adding support to it! Contribute controller support

Support for predefined development kits

You can also use the predefined kits, which selects the correct display controllers on the kit, and sets the gpio numbers for the interface.
