The Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller is an alphanumeric dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) controller developed by Hitachi in the 1980s. The character set of the controller includes ASCII characters, Japanese Kana characters, and some symbols in two 40 character lines. Using an extension driver, the device can display up to 80 characters.

The Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller is limited to monochrome text displays and is often used in copiers, fax machines, laser printers, industrial test equipment, and networking equipment, such as routers and storage devices.

Compatible LCD screens are manufactured in several standard configurations. Common sizes are one row of eight characters (8×1), and 16×2, 20×2 and 20×4 formats. Larger custom sizes are made with 32, 40 and 80 characters and with 1, 2, 4 or 8 lines. The most commonly manufactured larger configuration is 40×4 characters, which requires two individually addressable HD44780 controllers with expansion chips as a single HD44780 chip can only address up to 80 characters.

Character LCDs may have a backlight, which may be LED, fluorescent, or electroluminescent. The nominal operating voltage for LED backlights is 5V at full brightness, with dimming at lower voltages dependent on the details such as LED color. Non-LED backlights often require higher voltages.

Character LCDs use a 16-contact interface, commonly using pins or card edge connections on 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) centers. Those without backlights may have only 14 pins, omitting the two pins powering the light. This interface was designed to be easily hooked up to the Intel MCS-51 XRAM interface, using only two address pins, which allowed displaying text on LCD using simple MOVX commands, offering cost effective option for adding text display to devices.

Vee (also V0): This is an analog input, typically connected to a potentiometer. The user must be able to control this voltage independent of all other adjustments, in order to optimise visibility of the display that varies i. a. with temperature and, in some cases, height above the sea level. With a wrong adjustment, the display will seem to malfunction.

R/W: In most applications, reading from the HD44780 is not necessary. In that case, this pin can be permanently connected to ground and no processor pins need to be allocated to control it.

In 8-bit mode, all transfers happen in one cycle of the enable pin (E) with all 8 bits on the data bus and the RS and R/W pins stable. In 4-bit mode, data are transferred as pairs of 4-bit "nibbles" on the upper data pins, D7–D4, with two enable pulses and the RS and R/W pins stable. The four most significant bits (7–4) must be written first, followed by the four least significant bits (3–0). The high/low sequence must be completed each time or the controller will not properly receive further commands.

The same command is sent three times, Function Set with 8-bit interface D7–D4 = binary 0011, the lower four bits are "don"t care", using single enable pulses. If the controller is in 4-bit mode, the lower four bits are ignored so they cannot be sent until the interface is in a known size configuration.

In all three starting cases, the bus interface is now in 8-bit mode, 1 line, 5×8 characters. If a different configuration 8-bit mode is desired, an 8-bit bus Function Set command should be sent to set the full parameters. If 4-bit mode is desired, binary 0010 should be sent on D7–D4 with a single enable pulse. Now the controller will be in 4-bit mode and a full 4-bit bus Function Set command sequence (two enables with command bits 7–4 and 3–0 on subsequent cycles) will complete the configuration of the Function Set register.

Reads busy flag (BF) indicating internal operation being performed and reads CGRAM or DDRAM address counter contents (depending on previous instruction).

Reading and writing to the DDRAM is done by setting the RS input high during bus transfers. The DDRAM must also be selected by using the Set DDRAM address command which selects the DDRAM for access and also sets the starting address for DDRAM access.

Likewise reading and writing to the CGRAM is done by setting the RS input high during bus transfers. The CGRAM must also be selected by the Set CGRAM address command which selects the CGRAM for access and also sets the starting address for CGRAM access.

The execution times listed in this table are based on an oscillator frequency of 270 kHz. The data sheet indicates that for a resistor of 91 kΩ at VCC=5 V the oscillator can vary between 190 kHz and 350 kHz resulting in wait times of 52.6 µs and 28.6 µs instead of 37 µs. If a display with the recommended 91 kΩ resistor is powered from 3.3 volts the oscillator will run much slower. If the busy bit is not used and instructions are timed by the external circuitry, this should be taken into account.

The original HD44780 character generator ROM contains 208 characters in a 5×8 dot matrix, and 32 characters in a 5×10 dot matrix. More recent compatible chips are available with higher resolution, matched to displays with more pixels.

A limited number of custom characters can be programmed into the device in the form of a bitmap using special commands. These characters have to be written to the device each time it is switched on, as they are stored in volatile memory.

1) Appearance can be designed in an arc, rectangle, square, L shape,S shape, etc..free bending, coiling, folding, can be arbitrarily arranged in accordance with the spatial layout requirements, adopt electrolytic copper or copper rolling process design with very good electrical conductivity;

2) FPC interfaces include soldering, plug-in, and B2B connection, the reinforcement materials we commonly use include PI, PET, FR4, steel sheet, aluminum sheet, and so on, which can be selected according to different applications environments.
