20x4 LCD White on Blue

A 20x4 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments and other multi segment LEDs. The reasons being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters (unlike in seven segments), animations and so on.

A 20x4 LCD means it can display 20 characters per line and there are 4 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data. This is standard HD44780 controller LCD.

There is no change code for interfacing standard 16x2 or 20x4 LCD.

1. 20 Characters x 4 Lines
2. Built-in HD44780 Equivalent LCD Controller
3. Works directly with ATMEGA, ARDUINO, PIC amd many other microcontroller/kits.
4. 4 or 8 bit data I/O interface
5. Low power consumption
