The serial interface is something new and we will explore this option in this project. If you have used 16×2 LCD Display earlier, then you might be familiar with both 4-bit as well as 8-bit parallel interfaces. It is manufactured by Sitronix and supports three types of bus interfaces i.e., 8-bit mode, 4-bit mode and Serial interface. The Graphical LCD Module I purchased consists of ST7920 Controller. So, please verify the LCD Controller as well as the pin out before making a purchase. The pin out of the final LCD Module might vary depending on the LCD Controller used. Some of the commonly used LCD Controllers are KS0108, SSD1306, ST7920, SH1106, SSD1322, etc.
Even though the usage, application and implementations are almost identical, the main difference lies in the internal LCD Controller used to drive the dot matrix display. There are several versions of the Graphical LCD in the market. In a 128×64 LCD Module, there are 64 rows and 128 columns. You can display images and graphics (small animations) as well. They can only display alpha-numeric characters and some simple custom characters that are confined to a 5×8 matrix.Ĭoming to the 128×64 Graphical LCD, as the name suggests, it is a Graphical Display consisting of 128×64 i.e., 8192 individually controllable dots.īy using different combinations of pixels, we can basically display characters of various sizes. 16×2 or 20×4 LCDs are essentially character displays. A Brief Note on 128×64 Graphical LCDĪt first glance, the 128×64 Graphical LCD Module seems like a bigger brother to the famous 16×2 LCD or 20×4 LCD Modules, with their similar construction and almost similar pin layout.īut there is a significant difference between those two. If you are interested in implementing a simple 16×2 Alpha-Numeric LCD with Arduino, then check out this tutorial. If we want a bigger display with more real estate to work with, then the obvious choice is to go for the bigger and better 128×64 Graphical LCD Module.Īs a demonstration, after making all the hardware connections, I will display a bitmap image on the Graphical LCD Module. Due to its small size, the resulting menu will be limited to 3 or 4 items per page. But the issue with Nokia 5110 LCD Module is its resolution.Īt 84 x 48 pixels, the Nokia 5110 LCD can be used for implementing a menu-based user interface.
It is also a graphical LCD which can display some basic bitmap images and graphics. In the previous Arduino project, I have interfaced a Nokia 5110 LCD Module with Arduino. Interfacing 128×64 Graphical LCD with Arduino.
