{"title":"16x2 Character LCD (Parallel Interface)","handle":"16x2-character-lcd-parallel-interface","url":"/products/16x2-character-lcd-parallel-interface","description":"A compact 16×2 character LCD module using the standard HD44780 parallel interface. This display packs 32 characters into an outline smaller than most two-line displays, making it a space-efficient choice for projects with limited panel area.\n\nThis unit operates without a backlight, keeping power consumption low. It uses the widely supported HD44780 controller, so it works out of the box with the Arduino LiquidCrystal library and other common LCD libraries.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n16×2 Character Display – Two rows of 16 characters each\n\nCompact Form Factor – Smaller outline than most standard 16×2 LCDs\n\nHD44780 Parallel Interface – Compatible with 4-bit and 8-bit data modes\n\nNo Backlight – Lower power consumption, suitable for well-lit environments\n\n5V Operation – Standard logic voltage for Arduino and most microcontrollers\n\nAdjustable Contrast – Via the V0 pin with a potentiometer\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nSpace-constrained projects needing a text display\nLow-power microcontroller applications\nDisplaying sensor data, menus, and status messages\nLearning electronics with the widely documented HD44780 interface\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 16×2 Character LCD Module (no backlight)\n\n\n\nNote: This LCD does not include headers or connectors. You will need to solder your own header pins or wires for connection.\n","vendor":"Pololu","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13020,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PL-773","price":16.51,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
