MIDAS DISPLAYS 16x2 Alphanumeric LCD, Black on White, 5V

The MIDAS DISPLAYS 16x2 Alphanumeric LCD module provides a clear, transflective display, making it an ideal component for embedded systems, prototypes, and industrial control panels. Featuring a black-on-white appearance, this display offers excellent readability in various lighting conditions. Its compact design, combined with a standard 5V logic voltage and parallel interface, ensures easy integration into a wide range of electronic projects.

This 16-character by 2-line module utilises an FSTN (Film-compensated Super Twisted Nematic) LCD type, known for its improved contrast and viewing angle over traditional STN displays. The transflective display mode enhances visibility both with and without backlighting, providing versatility for indoor and low-light applications. A crisp white backlight ensures the display remains legible in dark environments.

With support for both English and Japanese font sets, it is suitable for international product development. The module is constructed using Chip-On-Board (COB) technology, which offers a robust and reliable design by directly mounting the integrated circuit onto the printed circuit board. Its wide operating temperature range allows for stable performance in challenging environments.
