16x1 Character LCD FSTN Transflective - MCU
This 16x1 character LCD module features a FSTN (Film Super-Twisted Nematic) positive display with transflective technology, ensuring optimal readability under both ambient light and backlit conditions. Designed for embedded systems, it integrates the ST7066U controller for seamless parallel MPU interface compatibility.
With a compact module size of 80.0 x 36.0 x 13.5 mm and weighing only 34.2 grams, this LCD is ideal for space-constrained applications. The white LED backlight provides uniform illumination with a typical supply current of 130 mA, while the ST7066U controller supports 4-bit or 8-bit data bus modes for flexible system integration.
- High Contrast Ratio: Delivers a typical contrast ratio of 5:1 for sharp character visibility.
- Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -20°C to +70°C, with storage tolerance up to -30°C to +80°C.
- Low Power Consumption: Logic supply current typ. 1.2 mA at 5.0 V, minimizing energy use.
- Easy Integration: Plug-and-play compatibility with common MCUs via parallel interface.
