Features:
-
Resolution:
- 240x64 pixel resolution allows for better display quality than standard character LCDs, making it suitable for graphical content such as images, icons, and detailed information.
- This resolution provides a balance between high resolution and manageable screen size for many embedded systems.
-
Monochrome Green Display:
- The green backlight is typical for many monochrome LCDs, providing good visibility even in low-light conditions. The contrast between green backlight and black or dark green pixels makes it easy to read and understand the information presented.
-
Graphical Capabilities:
- With 240x64 resolution, you can display not just text but also graphics, icons, and images. It allows for much more flexibility in design compared to simpler character-based displays.
- Ideal for creating custom user interfaces (GUIs) or displaying real-time data with both graphical and textual components.
-
Controller Support:
- Commonly driven by ST7920 or UC1608 controllers, which provide functionality for displaying both text and graphics, and for handling pixel manipulation, cursor control, and drawing shapes or custom characters.
- Libraries for these controllers are available in many microcontroller platforms, such as Arduino, making it easy to control and interface with the display.
-
Backlighting:
- Includes a green LED backlight, which enhances the display's visibility, especially in darker settings.
- Typically, the backlight can be controlled (dimmed or turned off) to manage power consumption.
