MIDAS DISPLAYS 16x2 Alphanumeric LCD Display, White on Blue, I2C, 3V to 5V
MIDAS DISPLAYS 16x2 alphanumeric LCD module with white on blue display, I2C interface, and 3V-5V logic. Ideal for Arduino & embedded projects.
The MIDAS DISPLAYS 16x2 Alphanumeric LCD Display is a compact, versatile module designed for clear and reliable text output in a wide range of electronic projects and commercial devices. It features a transmissive, white-on-blue display with a crisp 16 character by 2 line format, providing excellent readability indoors.
This module utilises advanced Chip on Glass (COG) construction, integrating the ST7032i controller directly onto the glass for a slim profile and robust performance. It supports a broad logic supply voltage range from 3V to 5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development platforms. The integrated I2C interface drastically reduces the required connection pins to just two (SDA and SCL), simplifying wiring and saving valuable I/O on your main controller.
Equipped with a white LED backlight, the display ensures clear visibility in various lighting conditions. It features dual font sets for both English and Japanese characters, offering flexibility for international applications. The module boasts a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
With its compact overall dimensions and a preferred 6 o'clock viewing angle, this LCD is an ideal choice for embedded systems, instrumentation, point-of-sale terminals, and DIY electronics where space is at a premium and clear data presentation is essential.
