Introduction:
This 84x48 pixel black and white LCDs are what you might have found in an old Nokia 3310 or
5110 cell phone. They're not flashy, not colorful and there's no touch screen. But, they are cheap
and easy to control. If you're looking to step up your project's user interface (UI) from simple
character displays or LEDs, this graphic LCD is a good place to start. It's very convenient for
beginners.
Features:
1. Very easy to control, perfect for beginners.
2. Dedicated arduino library. Only 5 digital pins of arduino is needed to control it.
3. User controllable blue backlight.
4. Can be used to show any bitmap image of your choice.
5. Signal pins can be controlled with either 5V or 3.3V logic level.
Specifications:
1. Operating Voltage: 3.3V (on VCC pins), 5V or 3.3V (on signal pins).
2. LCD driver: PCD8544
3. Dimension: 45mm X 45mm
4. Backlight: Blue
5. LCD Resolution: 84 X 48
6. No. of signal/control pins: 5
Application:
Any arduino project where you need a monochrome graphics LCD.
Operating Voltages:
The VCC pin must be connected to 3.3V. The LCD will be damaged if you put 5V to the VCC
pin. However, the signal/data pins can withstand 5V and can be directly connected to arduino
digital pins. LCD backlight will turn on if you connect the "LIGHT" pin to GND or any arduino
digital pin set as LOW.
