How to display image on LCD TFT screen with Arduino Uno?
Make sure the image has arduino.bmp as filename and must be placed in the root domain of your SD card! The Arduino & TFT screen has to be voltage-free when assembling the SD card. Copy the Arduino code below & upload it to your Arduino. Open the serial monitor in your Arduino program.
What kind of screen to use on Arduino?
LCDs, or liquid crystal displays, are easy to use with your Arduino. They are a very simple ways of telling the user data from the Arduino. Standard 16×2 character LCDs are found in grocery stores, when the display tells you what you bought as the cashier scans each item, and how much it costs.
How can I run a display on my Arduino?
To run your display easily, you should use Arduino LCDs libraries and add them to your code. Otherwise running the display may be very difficult. There are many free libraries you can find on the internet but the important point about the libraries is their compatibility with the LCD’s driver. The driver of your LCD must be known by your library.
Where does the image go on an Arduino LCD?
A great part of the LCD is that it has a built in microSD card socket. You can store images on the microSD card socket, and even some text! If you like this Instructable, please vote for me in the Arduino contest by clicking the orange ribbon in the upper right hand corner, then vote!!!

How to display BMP pictures from SD card?
Those are the name of my bmp 24 bits images on SD card for like “Img1” we call it in the code by using “Img1.bmp”. This is the library that worked for me: Download here if you use this library but when trying with example codes it shows you a white screen, you should definitely look for the library that suits you.
How to upload an Arduino image to a SD card?
