Key Specifications

Detailed Features

• High Reliability with COB Technology:

◦ The Chip-On-Board (COB) construction encapsulates the display driver IC directly onto the PCB, protecting it from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and physical shock. This results in a robust module with enhanced durability and a longer lifespan.

• Standard Character Display:

◦ The module can display up to 16 characters on each of its two lines. It includes a built-in character generator ROM (CGROM) with a comprehensive set of ASCII characters, symbols, and Japanese Kana, allowing for easy text-based output.

• Simple and Universal Interface:

◦ Compatible with the industry-standard HD44780 protocol, the module can be easily interfaced with all common microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, PIC, ARM, 8051) using either an 8-bit or 4-bit parallel interface, significantly simplifying software development.

• Compact and Standard Design:

◦ With its standard dimensions of 80mm x 36mm, this module is a drop-in solution for countless existing enclosures and designs, reducing mechanical engineering efforts.

• Customizable Backlight:

◦ Equipped with a long-life LED backlight, available in different colors (such as Green, Blue, or White), to ensure clear visibility in both low-light and normal conditions.
