Graphic LCD module is used to display Chinese characters and graphics in lattice form. Every 8 points make up one byte, each point is represented by a binary bit, and a bright spot is displayed on the screen when the point stored in 1 is displayed; the point stored in 0 is not displayed on the screen, and the commonly used 16 *16 Chinese character dot matrix is composed of 32 bytes. Taking T6963C, a widely used LCD driver controller in China, as an example, the 16*16 dot matrix font of "Guo" character is displayed in Fig. 1. 32 byte values corresponding to the right-hand font of Fig. 1 can be obtained by extracting the font of "Guo" character in the way of left-hand, right-hand and top-down by the font extraction software. By writing these bytes into the display buffer of the LCD controller in a certain order, the 16 *16 character "Guo" can be displayed on the LCD screen. Similarly, a 24*24 Chinese character needs 72 bytes, which is stored as shown in Table 1. Chinese characters of other specifications are stored by analogy.

The extracted Chinese characters are input into the LCD controller by a single chip computer, and the required Chinese characters can be displayed on the LCD module display screen according to the settings. Figure 2 is a typical interface circuit between LCD module and MCU. In the figure, 8051 single chip computer which is widely used in our country is chosen as MCU, 12864 (128 *64) LCD module is used, and the built-in LCD driver controller is T6963C of Toshiba Company of Japan. In the circuit, the address line A12-A15, WR and RD signals are decoded by GAL16V8 to the chip selection signal of the chip. The LCD decoding address is 0xE000, which connects the address line A0 with the C/D of the LCD control port. LCD controller receives data when A0 is low and command code when A0 is high. Therefore, the LCD data port address is 0xE000, and the LCD command port is 0xE001. Keil C51 is used for programming. The following definitions can be made in the program:

The data line of MCU is connected with the data port of LCD controller through 74HC245 bidirectional buffer. The selected signal/LCD_CS of LCD controller is used as the enabling signal of 74HC245. The write signal/WR of MCU controls the direction of data transmission. When the WR is low, the MCU data is written into the LCD controller; when the WR is high, the CPU reads the data and status of the LCD controller.

In the previous chapter, we have discussed how a character LCD is interfaced with a PIC microcontroller in 8-bit mode, where we used predefined characters stored in the LCD to display our data. In this article, we will learn more about the LCD and how we can create and use custom characters.

DDRAM or “Data Display Random Access Memory” is the working data buffer of the display. Each character on the display has a corresponding DDRAM location and the byte loaded in DDRAM controls which character is displayed.

CGROM or “Character Generation Read Only Memory” holds all the standard patterns for the 5 x 7 dot matrix characters. For instance, if you want to display character “A”, you would send ASCII code 65 (decimal) to the DDRAM. The display controller looks up the pattern of dots to display for this code in the CGROM and lights up the ones appropriate for “A”. The CGROM contents depend on the particular character set and model of display, US, Chinese etc. and cannot be changed.

CGRAM or “Character Generation Random Access Memory” allows the user to define special supplementary non-standard character types that are not in the CGROM. You can load your own dot pattern shapes and call these up for display.

For making custom patterns we need to write values to the CGRAM area defining which pixel to glow. These values are to be written in the CGRAM address starting from 0x40. CGRAM has a total of 64 Bytes. For LCD using 8×5 dots for each character, you can define a total of 8 user defined patterns (1 Byte for each row and 8 rows for each pattern).

Custom characters are assigned fixed display codes from 0 to 7 for pattern stored in the location pointed by CGRAM address 0x40, 0x48, 0x56… and so on. So, if the user wants to display second pattern (pattern stored at CGRAM address 0x48), simply call the data function with value 1 as an argument at a desired location in the LCD.

To display the sequence in the LCD, we need to specify the position on LCD and which pattern to display at the position. Provide adequate delay in between frames to observe the sequence distinctly.

Let’s interface LCD with LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. In most of embedded systems applications, the need for a display is must. We can use display to represent text, numeric data or even graphics. JHD162A is a 16×2 character LCD module which is compatible to HD44780 drivers from Hitachi. The JHD162A has 16 pins and can be interfaced into 4-bit or 8-bit mode. We will get into that in a minute. In this tutorial we will be using 4-bit mode to interface LCD with LPC2148 Microcontroller.

NOTE: Procedure to interface LCD with LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller could be little bit different when compared to other 8-bit microcontrollers such as 8051, AVR and other chips which operates at 5V. Usually, LCD operates at 5V but LPC2148 operates at 3.3V. So we have to take care of this fact. Since, the board we will be using for our experiment have on board +5V so we don’t need to use any level shifter circuit. Otherwise, you may need to wire up additional circuitry. We’ll get into that later in circuit diagram.

The JHD162A has 16 Pins. This LCD controller can be operated in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. You can easily buy this cheap china made LCD in almost every supplier shop. Let’s first try to understand its pins and related functions. I recommend you to keep datasheet in-hand, to download click here: JHD162A LCD Datasheet

Before wiring up circuit between JHD162A LCD and LPC2148 Microcontroller. Let’s understand function of each pin provided on JHD162A LCD Module and are given as below:

PIN3 (VEE): This pin usually used to adjust a contrast. This is usually done by connecting 10K potentiometer to +5V and ground and then connecting slider pin to VEE of LCD Module. This voltage across VEE pin defines the contrast. In general case this voltage is between 0.4V to 0.9V.

PIN4 (RS): This pin referred as Register Select (RS). The JHD126A LCD has two registers called command register & data register. Logic HIGH (‘1’) at Pin RS selects data register and Logic LOW (‘0’) at Pin RS will select command register. When we make RS Pin HIGH and put data on data lines (DB0-DB7). It will be recognized as data. And if we make RS Pin LOW and put any value on data lines, then it will recognizes as a command.

You might be wondering why we are using 4-bit and not 8-bit mode to Interface LCD with LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller. Here I have presented some differences.

To establish proper communication and interface between JHD162A LCD with LPC2148 Microcontroller. We need to supply commands in a given order to the data pins with small amount of delay in between to initialize LCD properly. These commands are listed in given table. We’ will use these commands in our program.

*This example project has been tested on STK2148-UltraLite Development Board.EXAMPLE PROJECT: Let’s display custom text on to LCD screen. Here we will interface JHD162A LCD with LPC2148 ARM7Microcontroller. The connection between LCD pins and LPC2148 into 4-bit mode has shown as below. We also have presented fully functioning program and free to download project.

This is how we can interface LCD with LPC2148 ARM7 Microcontroller to display text message on LCD screen. Since explanation of code is not in the scope of this tutorial, we will soon upload videos for code explanation. We will suggest you to play little bit around code to explore functionality of JHD162A LCD Module. We will use LCD in our future projects while displaying ADC data, Sensor output on LCD display. If you have any questions then feel free to leave a comment.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Chinese flat screen makers, once dismissed as second-class players in the global LCD market, are drawing envious looks from big names such as LG Display Co Ltd and Samsung.A man walks out of the headquarters of LG Display in Seoul, October 20, 2011. REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak

While the Korean giants were busy developing next-generation organic light emitting diode (OLED) TVs, little-known Chinese companies have started selling a type of display that are sharper than the standard LCD and cheaper than OLED.

Until last year, the UHD market had been almost non-existent, with just 33,000 sets sold in the 200 million-unit LCD TV market. Since then, shipments have soared around 20-fold, thanks to China, data from research firm IHS shows.

Chinese consumers who want brighter and sharper images but can’t afford OLED screens made by LG and Samsung Display, a unit of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, are turning to UHD.

But its slow introduction into the market and austere prices have thrown open a window of opportunity for UHD makers, in this case Chinese companies like BOE Technology Group Co Ltd and TCL Corp’s LCD unit CSOT.

“We assumed it’ll be too early for this type of display to take off, and thus didn’t think much of having diverse UHD product line-ups, especially in the low end. But I think we are not late just yet and we are working hard to lead the market here.”

By comparison, Japanese flat-screen pioneer Sharp Corp reported a razor-thin 0.5 percent margin. LG Display, the world’s No.1 LCD maker, posted a 5.6 percent margin.

Samsung Display, a unit of Samsung Electronics, had a margin of 13 percent, the biggest in the industry. But excluding its fledging OLED business, its LCD margin is between 3 and 7 percent, according to a Bernstein forecast.

Jolted by the reality of a growing UHD market, Samsung Electronics unveiled a 110-inch UHD TV in January. Interestingly, the UHD displays were not made by Samsung Display, but were produced by Taiwan’s AU Optronics.

“Even with some expansion of the Chinese panel suppliers we do expect Samsung and LG Display to stay dominant and continue production in LCD,” said Sweta Dash, director at IHS.

While Samsung and LG Display are investing billions of dollars in OLED this year, the two giants are also broadening their product lineups to include more popular 50 to 60-inch UHD models.

BOE Technology is now planning to raise 46 billion yuan ($7.5 billion) in the biggest Chinese equity offering this year, to build panel production lines and increase its stake in its LCD venture BOE Display Technology.

In this post i am going to explain how to interface 24×2 lcd with microcontroller. I am going to interface lcd with 8051(89c51,89c52) and Microchip Pic16f877 microcontrollers. 24×2 means 24-Coulombs and 2-Rows. Total characters which we can display on 24×2 lcd (24×2=48) 48. 24 Characters on each row. Interfacing 24×2 lcd with microcontroller is same as we interface other character lcds with microcontrollers. 24×2 lcds are controlled by hd44780 controller, the same controller used to control 8×1,16×2,20×2 lcds. Commands to initialize 24×2 lcd are same used to initialize other character lcds. Registers of lcd are also same. Data read and write process is also same.

Lcd which i am using is from Samsung. Its number is unknown. Only a numberUC24202,GNAR4PA,010429, is written on its back. Also it is mentioned “Made in China”
