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.

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.
