TFT ILI9163 and ST7735 are very similar as pcb's, ST7735 is also offered in several variations.
...so, it's not so easy

SDA (input data pin) -> must be connected to processor SPI MOSI line (Master Output Slave Input)
SCL (clock line) -> must be connected to processor SPI CLK line
DC (or sometimes A0) -> informs the display that the data or command is sent
CS (chip select) -> informs the display (when this line is LOW) that the information are directed to this device(in this case display)

If You are on arduino, please try this lib (it supports both ILI9163 and ST7735):
https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI
You can customize display type and pins configuration inside:

Hello, thanks for the reply ! That's very helpfull info. I will check out and post the result !

What display are you referring to exactly?
Do you mean a 1.44" SPI TFT 128x128 pixel display?
Do you have a picture or a link to said display?

It's a 0.96" TFT display. here's the link to the display : https://www.banggood.com/0_96-Inch-4Pin ... ds=myorder

No it's a different type : https://www.banggood.com/0_96-Inch-4Pin ... ds=myorder

There is adafruit library support.

At start of thread (header) you write 1.4 red pcb v2.1 ... so what is it really?
