16x2 Character LCD FSTN Transflective Large - MCU
This 16x2 character LCD module features FSTN (Film Super-Twisted Nematic) positive transflective display technology, delivering high contrast and wide viewing angles for clear readability in various lighting conditions. Designed with a compact form factor (122.0 x 44.0 x 13.6 mm) and low power consumption, it integrates seamlessly via the 6800-series MPU interface, making it ideal for microcontroller-based systems.
Powered by the ST7066U controller IC, the module supports both 4-bit and 8-bit data bus modes, with built-in character generator ROM (240 fonts) and RAM for custom symbols. The white LED backlight ensures uniform illumination with typical current of 48mA, while the FSTN transflective design allows for clear viewing under direct sunlight or indoor lighting.
- High Reliability: Operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and storage up to -30°C to +80°C, validated through rigorous tests including high-temperature storage and vibration resistance.
- Easy Integration: Standard pinout with 16 pins, including contrast adjustment (VO), read/write control, and backlight power pins for straightforward MCU connection.
- Low Power Operation: Typical supply current of 1.5mA at 5V, ideal for battery-powered devices.
