Product Overview
The FZ169-240280 is an industrial-grade 1.69 inch Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid Crystal Display module with a 240x280 portrait resolution and an in-plane-switching panel that delivers true ALL viewing-angle color consistency. With a compact 27.97 (H) x 32.63 (V) mm active area inside a 30.07 (H) x 37.43 (V) x 1.6 (D) mm outline, this a-Si TFT-LCD is engineered for space-constrained smart wearable products, including smart watches, fitness bands, health monitors and portable HMI panels. The module is available with an optional CST816T capacitive touch panel (CTP) in both rounded-corner (smartwatch style) and right-angle (industrial style) mechanical options, and supports two interface families — SPI 4W (18-pin) for low-pin-count microcontrollers, and MCU 8/16-bit parallel (30-pin) for higher throughput. Backed by Shenzhen FuZheng Photoelectric Technology's more than a decade of display manufacturing experience, every FZ169-240280 unit ships with stable production quality, competitive factory pricing, and full OEM/ODM customization.

Mechanical & Interface Details
The FZ169-240280 module is supplied with a ZIF-friendly flexible printed circuit (FPC) tail that carries the 18 / 30 display signals (18-pin SPI 4W or 30-pin MCU 8/16-bit interface) and, on touch variants, an additional 6-pin FPC for the CST816T capacitive touch controller. Two mechanical outlines are available:
- Rounded-corner outline (圆角触摸总成): designed for smartwatch, fitness band and other curved-housing wearables; overall outline 33.13 x 41.13 mm with CTP, 1.6 mm LCM + 0.25 mm touch glass.
- Right-angle outline (直角触摸总成): designed for industrial HMI, instrument panel and portable terminal housings; overall outline 35.13 x 43.68 mm with CTP, 1.6 mm LCM + 0.25 mm touch glass.
- Backlight circuit (背光电路图): 3 white LEDs in parallel, VF=3.0V, IF=60mA, with a single LEDA anode and three LEDK1/2/3 cathodes for balanced current distribution.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between the 18-pin and 30-pin versions of the FZ169-240280?
The 18-pin version uses the ST7789T3 controller with an SPI 4W serial interface, ideal for low-pin-count MCUs (such as ESP32, nRF52, STM32 with limited GPIO). The 30-pin version uses the ST7789T3 or ST7789H2 controller with an MCU 8/16-bit parallel interface, which delivers higher refresh rates for video or animation-heavy UIs. Both share the same 240x280 resolution, active area and mechanical outline.
Q2: Does the FZ169-240280 support capacitive touch?
Yes. An optional CST816T-based capacitive touch panel is available in two mechanical styles — rounded corner (ideal for smartwatch / fitness band housings) and right angle (ideal for industrial HMI and instrument panels). The CTP uses an I2C interface over a 6-pin FPC (TP_SCL, TP_SDA, TP_TRST, TP_TINT, VDD_3.0V, GND).
Q3: Can I customize the FPC length, pin order or backlight brightness?
Yes. As a factory-direct manufacturer, Shenzhen FuZheng Photoelectric supports full OEM/ODM customization including FPC length, pin-out re-mapping, higher-brightness backlight (up to 1000 cd/m² for outdoor sunlight-readable applications), anti-glare / anti-reflective surface treatment, and touch-panel cover-glass integration. MOQ and lead time depend on the customization scope.
Q4: What is the operating voltage range? Is the module 3.3V or 1.8V logic?
The module supports a wide IOVCC logic supply of 1.65 ~ 3.3V (typical 1.8V), so it is directly compatible with both 1.8V and 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters. The analog VCI supply operates at 2.4 ~ 3.3V (typical 2.75V). The integrated backlight uses VF=3.0V at IF=60mA total current.
Q5: What is the operating temperature range? Is it suitable for outdoor use?
The standard operating temperature is -20 ~ +70 °C and storage temperature is -30 ~ +80 °C, which covers most consumer, industrial and outdoor-bay portable scenarios. For higher temperature or direct-sunlight deployments, we recommend a customized high-brightness (>800 cd/m²) backlight variant.
Q6: Do you provide initialization code, datasheet, and reference schematics?
Yes. With every sample order we provide the full datasheet (PDF), the ST7789T3 / ST7789H2 initialization code, recommended reference schematic, and the CST816T touch driver porting guide for popular MCU platforms. Our engineering team can assist with bring-up questions during your evaluation.
Q7: What is the lead time and minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard FZ169-240280 variants (no-touch or touch) are kept in stock for sample orders. Mass-production MOQ is typically 500 ~ 1,000 pcs depending on configuration. Lead time is 10 ~ 15 working days for stocked variants and 20 ~ 30 working days for custom variants. Contact our sales team for an exact quote.
