Description Adafruit RGB LCD 16x2 Display - Backlight Negative - With Extras
This is a nice upgrade from the standard 16x2 LCD displays. Instead of one color, this LCD has full color RGB characters on a dark background. So you can now change the color of the characters to whatever you want. Red, green, blue, pink, white, purple, yellow, it doesn't matter everything is possible.
The LCD is custom made by Adafruit. This way you can use the screen in existing LCD projects. It will still work, only the red LED will work (red on black). The extra two pins (17 & 18) are for the green and blue LEDs. The LCD has built-in resistors so you can control it with 5V logic. The current is about 20mA per LED. One LED is used for the backlight of the display.
The display comes with a separate 10K potentiometer for the contrast and a row of pin headers. You can solder these to the display yourself.
Features RGB LCD 16x2 Display
- 16 characters wide, 2 rows
- Multicolored text on dark background
- The pin spacing is 0,1" and is ideal for use with a Breadboard
- Pins are documented on the back of the LCD
- The RGB LED backlight can be easily dimmed with a resistor or PWM and uses much less power than an LCD with EL (electroluminescent) backlight
- Each R, G and B LED has a 200 ohm resistor in series so you can power the backlight from 3V or 5VDC. R forward voltage is ~ 2.2V, G&B are ~ 3,4V
- Can be fully controlled with only 6 digital lines! (All analog/digital pins can be used) and 3 PWM pins for the backlight
- Built-in character set supports Dutch/English/Japanese text, see HD44780 datasheet for full character set
- Up to 8 additional characters can be created for custom glyphs or 'foreign' language support
- Comes with 10k contrast potentiometer and a row of pin headers
- Screen Dimensions: 27mm x 71mm
