This is a thin, extremely low-power 128x64 graphic LCD display module. It has no backlight, so consumes no power to illuminate the display. However, if you wanted to backlight the module, the rear polarizer is transflective, so you could add your own lighting solution there. This display is perfectly suited for hand-held or any application requiring low power consumption or a very thin display. It has an integrated controller and the tail is designed to mate with standard 18-conductor 0.5mm pitch ZIF connectors (typical would be Omron XF2L18351A/ DigiKey P/N OR754CT-ND).

The 64128N uses our 64128K LCD module which has a viewing area of 50 x 25 mm and the ST7565R COG IC. The backlight uses a single LED for low power consumption.The PCB allows for easy mounting and assembly.

The ST7565R is a single-chip dot matrix LCD driver that can be connected directly to a microprocessor bus. 8-bit parallel or 4-line SPI display data sent from the microprocessor is stored in the internal display data RAM and the chip generates a LCD drive signal independent of the microprocessor. Because the chips in the ST7565R contain 65x132 bits of display data RAM and there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between the LCD panel pixels and the internal RAM bits, these chips enable displays with a high degree of freedom. The ST7565R chips contain 65 common output circuits and 132 segment output circuits, so that a single chip can drive a 65x132 dot display (capable of displaying 8 columns x4 rows of a 16x16 dot kanji font).

Here in this post/tutoriqal i am going to teach you how to display images on Graphical lcd using Pic Microcontroller(pic16F877). I am using JHD12864E graphical LcD in my Project. JHD12864E is 128×64 dimension lcd. 128×64 means it has 128 coulombs and 64 rows. So total dots it has is 128×64=8192. You can display an image of maximum size(Dimension = 128×64) with in this range. Some notable things before starting the tutorial.

You can only display images of .bmp format. Images bitmaps are obtained only by .bmp format. Graphical lcds consists of dots, we have to display our images on these dots and .bmp image is also comprised of dots. So can easily find bits of images of .bmp format and can map them on Graphical lcd.

You can only display black and white images(Monochrome images bitmap is hard to generate. No software is found for generating bitmap of monochrome images on internet).

If you want to display images of size greater than 128×64 than first change the size of the image. I used an online image dimension converter(My image size is 960×1280. I converted it to 128×64 using an online image dimension converter. You can found many tools to convert images just Google for it).

​If you are new to graphical lcd and didn’t know much about it just go through the tutorial below. You will become familiar with graphical lcd, its half and pages, its commands, its pin out and how to effectively use it. It will help you in understanding the code given below.

I am going to display five images on graphical lcd. Images which i am going to display on lcd are below. I created bitmaps of all the images given below.

The first pic which i am going to display is mine(The Admin). Its original size is 960×1280, format is .jpg and its a monochrome pic. I converted it to black and white, format .bmp and size is reduced to 128×64 using an online software for image editing.

Pic16f877 microcontroller is used to display images on jhd12864E graphical lcd. Port-B is used to send data and commands to graphical lcd. It is connected to data pins D0-D7 of Graphical lcd. Lcd controlling pins en(Enable),rs(Register-select),rw(read-write) are connected to Port-D pins#7,6,5. Graphical lcd’s First-Half selection line is connected to Port-D Pin#4 and second-half selection line is connected to Port-C Pin#4. Circuit diagram of the project is given below.

This function is sending commands to lcd. It not only send commands but also manipulate the lcd controlling pins(en,rw,rs) high and low to succesfully execute the commnad.

Graphic LCD 128X64 (Blue) is a framed graphical LCD 128 x 64px liquid crystal display with backlight. This unit is a very clear STN type LCD with a simple command interface. This new v2.0 module includes the negative voltage circuitry on board. Features of Graphic Lcd 128X64 (Blue): LCD display module with Blue blacklight, Wide viewing angle and high contrast, Display construction:128 x 64 DOTS (128x64 = 1024) pixels, Easily interfaced with a MCU, Low-power consumption.

Can you control the backlighting by using PWM on the backlight voltage pin? It"s connected to Vss by default which applies the entire 5v to the pin, but if I can PWM the pin and apply a lower voltage will that dim the display? In essence I"m looking for a way to dim the display using an MCU. Also, when dimmed does it draw less current? (I"m thinking it does, less photons means less work which means less current).

Also, I"m assuming that a lot of current is most likely drawn from that backlight pin so I plan on placing a transistor between the MCU and the LCD which I will drive from the MCU via PWM.

Thanks for sharing your library. I ported it to the XMEGA style and it worked except that I need to add a reset in lcd_init(). I initialized the control port with RESET low, and then I promptly set it high.

The current version of this graphic display (GDM12864H) has a unique feature that I have not seen in any other 128x64 graphic LCD. Its pixels (and pitch) are square (0.39x0.39mm) so your circles appear as circles -- no more ellipses!!!

Thanks for posting. Please explain why you have 2K ohm connected to the V0 and VEE pins? This LCD has built-in DC converter to drive the LCD already?

Someone noted above that the voltage needs to be fairly low (~-4V) to see the darkness of the pixels. If you hook a pot up, be sure to wipe it to both extremes to see if you can atleast see a big black box when the LCD has power, then you know atleast your contrast works and you"re getting power!

astromme - I am currently working on a project with this serial graphic display and I am interested in using the MSP430 could I get a copy of the adapted Arduino ks0108 library? Thank you, this would be greatly appreciated.

You should look on the product page"s documents. There"s links to get it working with an Arduino microcontroller. Also, there is an article on Arduino if you did an online search with example code and a hookup guide => http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/GLCDks0108.

I recently bought this LCD to use with a Maple Mini board. What Library should I use with it? I found the KS0108 Graphics LCD library on the Arduino page. That seems to be more useful than the LiquidCrystal library which doesn"t seem to work with this 20-pin LCD.

The one i ordered off sparkfun nearly a month ago was of the " small fraction of the glcds out there will need a reset pulse" variety? it took me a few days and several hours to realize, i had to waste another pin. The solution was to go into the library and un-comment part of the code as described at the bottom http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/GLCDks0108/

I"m looking for a similar specs LCD, but with a white or blue backlight.. I"m planning on adding it next to my motorcycle OEM screen, and being green would quite likely be an ugly mismatch.

Make sure that you have a 100 to 330 ohm resister in series with the LCD backlight. Some of the documentation is not clear on this, but the resister must be there or the LED backlight will act like a dead short as soon as the voltage rises above the LED forward bias - usually about 2.0V.

So, stupid question, the LCD screen says it needs 9V to work. Is that supplied by the circuits on the board, or do you need to create a step-up dc converter to change 5V into 9V?

While the microcontroller was running, i had to take the display off my test board, because (stupid as i was) i mounted the V0 pot-meter under it. When i connected it back it was working!

On the page Csloser links to, he recommends a pull down resistor. Could anyone comment on the importance of this? Could this be the cause of my one line LCD?

I grabbed the software and loaded it. The backlight works and at first I saw a few lines on the display itself (these faded). When I ran the software from that web page, nothing came out on the display. I played with the contrast potentiometer a little, but I still see nothing. The program is running (I added some Serial output for debugging).

I forgot to mention that the LCD voltage, in my experience, should be around -4V for the display to be readable. Close to -5V will turn all of the pixels fully on and above -3V they will be totally transparent. Other units may behave differently but this is how mine works.

I intended to drive this LCD with an ATmega168, which now appears to be an astonishingly bad idea if the uC has only 1K RAM and you need that to drive the LCD. True? Or am I missing something completely obvious to the non-novice? It looks like I need a separate uC (like the DiosPro) to drive the LCD, with the 168 uC controlling the DiosPro via the UART? Happy to take advice....

You don"t have to devote any ATmega168 RAM to the LCD. This component has its own video RAM, one bit per pixel, 512 bytes total. I think you have to write whole bytes at a time (8 pixels), and it doesn"t know how to draw a letter "A" by itself, but the App Note from Kronos Robotics says they have a higher-level Dios library to deal with such operations.

With the continual development of LCD technologies, TFTs have become widely available at a lower price point. The manufacturing process of TFTs has been standardized which has changed the industry for display applications, making TFTs a feasible replacement option for graphic LCDs. This application note will discuss the options for replacing a graphic LCD with a TFT LCD. Considerations of price, size, features and functions will be analyzed to evaluate the options for TFT displays in place of a graphic LCD.

The two displays that will be reviewed in this application are described in the table below. These displays are similar in size and cost but vary in features and technical specifications.

Graphic LCDs are common for industrial applications where the features of TFTs are not justified by price. In recent years, TFT manufacturing has broadened its standard manufacturing process, making TFTs a competitor in typical graphic LCD applications.

TFTs offer additional features that graphic LCDs cannot provide. Such features consist of high color and resolution. TFTs also have the benefit of integrating capacitive and resistive touch functions to the display. If you are considering replacing a current graphic LCD, it may be time to switch to a TFT.

Graphic LCDs are a common display for industrial applications where vivid and high-resolution graphics are not essential to the application. Graphic displays typically have an 8-bit parallel interface which does not require a high frequency clock to communicate with the display. The graphic display in this example has 128 x 64 dots of resolution. This means the memory requirement of the frame buffer for this display is small and is provided by the IC on the display. Graphic LCDs do not offer RGB pixel color and display pixels as either on or off.

Significant limiting factors for graphic LCDs include the resolution and color depth of the display. The options for what can be displayed is restricted to a small area, in this example 128x64 pixels. This means that the image must be very low resolution and text must be very small. Typical graphic LCD applications display text or small user interface option.

The dimensions of G12864B-BW-LW63 are reviewed below. This graphic LCD is close in size to E30RA-FW400-N, the main differences being the mounting of the backlight and the depth of the displays. This graphic LCD is transmissive, STN blue, with a white LED backlight. The demo images will be displayed with white pixels and a blue background.

An example application for this graphic LCD will be reviewed in comparison with the TFT. The graphic LCD is interfaced over an 8-bit parallel connection. The display controller IC, ST7565, provides 8 pages of display RAM, an internal oscillator, and power regulation functions. This makes it easy to control a graphic LCD with a simple 8-bit controller because the main functions are provided internally.

The graphic LCD will display a menu followed by a temperature measurement screen. This is to provide an example of a typical graphic LCD application. Below is an example of the menu and the temperature measurement screen before they are uploaded onto the display.

Pixel size is limited for graphic LCDs. The full page consists of 128x64 pixels so the images must be low resolution and small. The amount of RAM provided by the embedded IC of the display will support 8 full pages of display data. The images must be black and white but will appear as white and blue once uploaded to the display. Below are the images of the display with these example applications uploaded.

The individual pixels can be seen on the graphic LCD and can be altered to project a monochrome image. STN blue graphic LCDs will display white pixels over a blue background. The amount that can be displayed in one page is restricted to 128x64 pixels. Simple icons and characters are common options for graphic display applications.

The design for graphic displays must be simplified to low resolution texts and icons. When you get down to a low resolution, such as 128x64 pixels, every pixel counts in creating a coherent image. This is why there is a standard set of icons used, and you will see them across graphic display applications. These icons are reminiscent of an early Windows computer era, 1980’s/1990’s. Most of these applications have already transferred to higher resolution and colored TFTs.

TFTs have begun to replace graphic LCDs in many applications. This is largely due to the price decrease of the displays and the electronics required to support them. The price of microprocessors and memory chips has substantially decreased, making TFTs a competitive alternative to graphic LCDs. TFT displays have the benefit of higher graphics quality, color, and speed for no extra cost.

The TFT used in this application is close in size to the graphic display. The display can be used both vertically and horizontally by changing the scan direction register. This can also be done by changing the page and column addresses before writing to RAM. The dimensions of the TFT are reviewed below from a vertical reference.

TFT displays offer a higher resolution and color depth. The TFT in this application has a resolution of 480x854 and can display up to 16.7 million colors. The combinations of color and the number of available pixels drastically increases the options for what can be displayed.

The TFT’s size is similar to the graphic LCD, but the resolution area is over six times larger. This makes a significant difference in image quality and available area. Below are the two graphic LCD demos displayed on the TFT.

Both graphic LCD demos can fit in the TFT display resolution and only take up a fraction of the total area available. The resolution of the TFT is highlighted by the amount of data that can be stored in one frame of the display area. Each pixel makes up only a small part of the image which means high resolution images can be portrayed. The same image is uploaded on both the graphic LCD and the TFT below.

TFTs also differ from graphic LCDs because they can display colors. This display supports 24-bits of color data for each pixel. This mean there are 16.7 million colors to select from. The graphic LCD writes to each pixel as on or off. The TFT assigns each pixel 24-bits of color data which means there are 16.7M unique colors that can be displayed.

TFTs have become increasingly standard for most display applications. Even if the application does not require high definition for its intended function, the comparable price for each display type makes the graphics quality an added bonus.

The graphic LCD demo can be recreated for the TFT to display more complex elements and colors. The addition of color and an increased pixel area gives the display more flexibility on what can be displayed and the quality of the image. TFT displays also have the benefit of touch interface options which can incorporate the user interface on the screen. Below is the example displayed on the TFT.

Some considerations should be made when switching from a graphic LCD to a TFT. A higher resolution means more pixels per frame. An increase in color depth means there is more data assigned to each of the pixels. The memory cost for one page of data can add up quickly depending on size and color depth chosen. The TFT in this example needs a minimum of 1.23MB if using the 24-bpp color depth. A lower color depth can be chosen through commands if you want to reduce memory costs.

The display also requires a higher speed interface to support its resolution and color depth. This display can be interfaced over a 16, 18 or 24-bit parallel interface with a clock cycle of 24.5MHz. This is the minimum speed required to maintain a frame rate of 60Hz. A high-speed controller is also required for this. Since high-speed controllers are becoming more affordable, these constraints are not as significant of a factor as they used to be.
