LCD module targets alphanumeric displays
Industrial display specialist, Electronic Assembly has introduced a new dot matrix unit capable of displaying up to eight numbers, letters or symbols per line.
The DIPS082-HN measures 40 x 20mm and features lcd supertwist display technology to guarantee high contrast. According to EA, it can be operated using a single 5V power supply or a +/-2.7 or +/-3.3V supply. Connection occurs via a 4 or 8bit data bus with RS, R/W, and E control lines. Power consumption is rated at 2mA.
The base version is designed to display information in dark blue against a neutral background and, when ordered with the optional led background illumination, this information appears in black against a yellow/green background.
EA says assembly is not required, since the display units can be easily soldered directly to the circuit board. Their operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C is said to allow the units to be used in many industrial applications.
