WINSTAR 16x2 Character LCD Display Module, Yellow/Green, STN
WINSTAR 16x2 character LCD module with yellow/green backlight & ST7066 controller. Ideal for Arduino & embedded projects. 3-5V operation.
The WINSTAR 16x2 Character LCD Display Module (WH1602A-YYH-JT) is a versatile and reliable component for a wide range of electronic projects and embedded systems. Featuring a classic 16-character by 2-line format, this module provides a clear and practical interface for displaying text, numerical data, and simple graphics using its 5x8 dot matrix characters.
The display utilises an STN (Super-Twisted Nematic) transflective screen with a positive image, ensuring good readability in various lighting conditions. It is equipped with a yellow/green LED backlight, offering high contrast and visibility. The module incorporates the popular ST7066U controller IC, which supports a default 6800-series 4-bit or 8-bit parallel interface, making it compatible with many microcontrollers and development boards like Arduino.
Designed for flexibility, it operates on a logic voltage range of 3V to 5V, with an optional negative voltage generator for 3V power supply applications. Its compact module dimensions allow for easy integration into space-constrained designs, while the standard character font set includes English, Euro, and Japanese symbols.
