LCD 16 X2 GREEN
LCD modules are very commonly utilized in most embedded
projects, the rationale being its cheap price, availability and programmer
friendly. Most folks would have encounter these displays in our day to day
life, either at PCO’s or calculators. The appearance and therefore the pinouts
have already been visualized above now allow us to get a touch technical.
16×2 LCD is known as
so because; it's 16 Columns and a couple of Rows. There are tons of
combinations available like, 8×1, 8×2, 10×2, 16×1, etc. but the foremost used
one is that the 16×2 LCD. So, it'll have (16×2=32) 32 characters in total and
every character are going to be made from 5×8 Pixel Dots. We know that every character
has (5×8=40) 40 Pixels and for 32 Characters we'll have (32×40) 1280 Pixels.
Further, the LCD should even be instructed about the Position of the Pixels.
Hence it'll be a busy task to handle everything with the assistance of MCU,
hence an Interface IC like HD44780is used, which is mounted on the backside of
the LCD Module itself. The function of this IC is to get the Commands and Data
from the MCU and process them to display meaningful information onto our LCD
Screen. If you are an advanced programmer and would like to create your own
library for interfacing your Microcontroller with this LCD module then you have
to understand its working and commands which can be found its datasheet.
This high quality 16
character by 2 line intelligent display module, with back lighting, Works with
almost any microcontroller. This is a popular 16x2 lcd display. It is supported
the hd44870 display controller hence it's easy to interface with most micro
controllers. It works of 3.3v and has a green back light which can be switched
on and off as desired. The contrast of the screen also can be controlled by
varying the voltage at the contrast control pin (pin 3).
