GENERAL DESCRIPTION Introduction This specification describes the interface requirements and features of a 2 line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) , 15 characters wide. The characters are formed using a 8x18 dot matrix. Application This unit may be used as a console display which provides alphanumeric information that is easily readable in high ambient light or with the backlight in low light conditions.
THEORY OF OPERATION Liquid Crystal Displays utilize ambient light falling on the display to reflect the image to the observer. The LCD cell is constructed by sandwiching a liquid crystal mixture between two glass plates that are coated with a polarizer, and lined with transparent electrodes. A selectively applied electric field aligns the nematic molecules (crystals) so that they either transmit or block the polarized light from being reflected back out of the cell to the viewer.
OPERATION Loading ASCII Character Data All printing characters are located in standard ASCII code locations from 20 (HEX) to FF (HEX). Control character assignments are as follows. Control Codes NOTE: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO SEND UNDEFINED CONTROL OR COMMAND CODES TO THE DISPLAY MODULE AS THIS MAY CAUSE A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION OF THE MODULE.

User Defined Character Loading (5 x 8 Dot Matrix) A maximum of eight characters may be created temporarily (until power-off or reset) by a user-defined down- loaded character pattern. To do so, enter the following sequence of commands and data: BYTE 6-10 *Repeat bytes 6-10 for the number of characters to be downloaded.
Dedicated Hardware Lines Not available. Serial Data and Self-test Serial characters are received with data formatted as a 10-bit word. The command set is structured to allow transmission of 8 data bits. The data rate is fixed at 9600 baud. The level is EIA-232C. (EIA-232) +15 TO +3V -15 TO -3V...
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Power ON / OFF Sequence There are no deleterious effects associated with power ON and OFF of this display; however, rapid ON/OFF sequencing is not recommended. Neither data nor power connectors should be connected/disconnected while power is applied. Because of the power-up cycle within the microprocessor, rise time of the power supply should be less than 100mS.
Relative humidity: ( 40 C) Vibration: Shock: ACCESSORIES IEE has a large selection of cable lengths and connector combinations available. The display enclosure is available in several standard colors with multiple mounting methods and pole lengths. Contact IEE for specifics. Industrial Electronic Engineers, Inc.
