A 16×2 character LCD display module from DFRobot's Gravity series, connecting to your Arduino or microcontroller via a simple I²C interface — just two data wires instead of the many parallel connections a standard LCD1602 requires. Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V, with no contrast adjustment needed out of the box.

The green backlight is controllable via software, and the module uses DFRobot's Gravity connector system for quick, reliable hookup. A significant improvement over the traditional LCD1602 in both ease of use and form factor.

Key Features

  • I²C Interface – Only two data wires needed (SDA + SCL), freeing up I/O pins
  • 3.3V and 5V Compatible – Works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers
  • No Contrast Adjustment – Pre-configured for optimal readability
  • Controllable Backlight – Green backlight can be toggled via software
  • Gravity Connector – DFRobot's plug-and-play connector system

Specifications

  • Display – 16 characters × 2 rows
  • Interface – I²C
  • Operating Voltage – 3.3V–5.0V

  • Displaying sensor readings and status messages
  • Menu systems and user interfaces
  • Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects
  • Data logging with visual feedback

Package Contents

  • 1× Gravity I²C LCD1602 Display Module (Green)

Resources

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

Gravity
Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
LCD
LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
