Hey, great instructable. When I first saw the 2x16 display had 8 programmable characters, I was hoping large fonts or some graphics would be possible, but given the few characters, and only two lines to work with, I just assumed a big font would be impossible.

While your letters looked great, in all honesty, your novice (but working!) C code truly made my eyeballs bleed. (Not a snob; I used to do mainframe C compliler language compliance testing, and have worked on Unix utilities for years; so I"m a bit fussy about my C. Code efficiency and compactness is key with me, and are right at home in the Arduino world :) Rather than complain, I"ll contribute :)

- I added Space, period to get character additions rolling. But I got bored, and did a first crack at all the missing characters 0x20-0x5F (mostly punctuation). (A crazy Friday night here, I tell ya, a bit bleary-eyed near the end.) Some of the chars are pretty rough, it"d be great if Michael and/or others could improve upon them.

The C should be pretty straight forward; I use a few slightly advanced C pointer constructs, like "const char *(*p)[2]" (a variable v, which is a pointer, to an array of two pointers to const chars [an array of two string pointers]. There"s an art to understanding and creating C pointers like that; think reading from the inside outworks, working from right to left. Hard to explain, but good to understand to be able to do things efficiently.

The most common type of monochrome LCD modules are known as Alphanumeric LCD Displays or a Character LCD Display. Alphanumeric LCD displays are widely used for the following reasons.These displays are easier to implement than a graphics unit.

Engineers and hardware designersfavor Alphanumeric lcd displays for quick development products. The display contains its own controller driver chip with a character map built into the IC. The character map makes it easy for the design to integrate their software, aka firm ware, into the pre-written software of the LCD module. When the engineer wants to display the letter "A", all they have to do is send a command requesting the capital "A". This is much easier than a graphics LCD module where each dot on the letter "A" needs to addressed. This is a very time consuming activity.

There are a large number of manufactures and electronic distributors that all carry the same model or type of the Alphanumeric LCD displays. I would guess there are over 50 suppliers that can supply the same 16x2 STN, yellow/green 6:00 with LED backlight. They are all interchangeable with each other and the cost difference between suppliers is small. In fact, most of the time OEMs design in a standard Alphanumeric LCD display not to save money or reduce development time, but to make sure there are plenty of backup suppliers.

Character LCD displays have been a proven technology for many years. The most common construction of the Alphanumeric LCD display is known as a COB or chip on Board. This is where there is a PCB attached to the LCD glass. The name Chip on board means that the controller driver chip is located on the back of the Printed circuit board. This type of module handles vibration very well. Also the mounting holes located on the PCB allow an easy secure method to attach the LCD to the customer’s product.

Alphanumeric LCD displays are built in standard configurations such as 16x2, 8x1 and 40x4. The identification of these displays is broken down into the number of characters in each row and then the number of rows. An example of this is a 16x2. That means there are 16 characters in each row. There are two rows of these characters. That means the alphanumeric LCD can display a total of 32 characters at a time.

A character is any letter, capital and non-capital, any number and the punctuation mark, such as period, comma and back slash. The character table built into the micro controller of the LCD can display 255 separate characters. Of course there are different languages, so you can choose a character table that displays English, French, German and many other languages.

Most alphanumeric LCD displays cannot display Chinese and Japanese without the use of a larger character size. This means that a 16x2 that is built to display Chinese will be larger than a 16x2 that is manufactured to display English characters.

With the two rows in this module, there are sixteen columns. The VA dimension of these modules are (66 x 16) millimetres and thickness is 13.2 millimetre. Its operating voltage is plus five or plus three volts. In today"s post we will have a look at working, applications, circuit,  features, advantage and disadvantages. So let"s get started with Introduction to 16x2 LCD Module.

So we can say that character consists of forty pixels or dots and total pixels in this liquid crystal display can be fined as (32 x 40) or 1280 pixels.

In this module there are 2 main types of register first one is data register and the second one is command register. The RS pinout is used for the change the register.

One of today’s modern technological wonders is the flat-panel liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, which is the key component we find inside televisions, computer monitors, smartphones, and an ever-proliferating range of gadgets that display information electronically.What most people don’t realize is how complex and sophisticated the manufacturing process is. The entire world’s supply is made within two time zones in East Asia. Unless, of course, the factory proposed by Foxconn for Wisconsin actually gets built.

Last week I had the opportunity to tour BOE Technology Group’s Gen 10.5 factory in Hefei, the capital of China’s Anhui Province.This was the third factory, or “fab” that Beijing-based BOE built in Hefei alone, and in terms of capability, it is now the most advanced in the world.BOE has a total of 12 fabs in Beijing, Chongqing, and several other major cities across China; this particular factory was named Fab 9.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screens are manufactured by assembling a sandwich of two thin sheets of glass.On one of the sheets are transistor “cells” formed by first depositing a layer of indium tin oxide (ITO), an unusual metal alloy that you can actually see through.That’s how you can get electrical signals to the middle of a screen.Then you deposit a layer of silicon, followed by a process that builds millions of precisely shaped transistor parts.This patterning step is repeated to build up tiny little cells, one for each dot (known as a pixel) on the screen.Each step has to be precisely aligned to the previous one within a few microns.Remember, the average human hair is 40 microns in diameter.

On the other sheet of glass, you make an array of millions of red, green, and blue dots in a black matrix, called a color filter array (CFA).This is how you produce the colors when you shine light through it.Then you drop tiny amounts of liquid crystal material into the cells on the first sheet and glue the two sheets together.You have to align the two sheets so the colored dots sit right on top of the cells, and you can’t be off by more than a few microns in each direction anywhere on the sheet.The sandwich is next covered with special sheets of polarizing film, and the sheets are cut into individual “panels” – a term that is used to describe the subassembly that actually goes into a TV.

For the sake of efficiency, you would like to make as many panels on a sheet as possible, within the practical limitations of how big a sheet you can handle at a time.The first modern LCD Fabs built in the early 1990s made sheets the size of a single notebook computer screen, and the size grew over time. A Gen 5 sheet, from around 2003, is 1100 x 1300 mm, while a Gen 10.5 sheet is 2940 x 3370 mm (9.6 x 11 ft).The sheets of glass are only 0.5 - 0.7 mm thick or sometimes even thinner, so as you can imagine they are extremely fragile and can really only be handled by robots.The Hefei Gen 10.5 fab is designed to produce the panels for either eight 65 inch or six 75 inch TVs on a single mother glass.If you wanted to make 110 inch TVs, you could make two of them at a time.

The fab is enormous, 1.3 km from one end to the other, divided into three large buildings connected by bridges.LCD fabs are multi-story affairs.The main equipment floor is sandwiched between a ground floor that is filled with chemical pipelines, power distribution, and air handling equipment, and a third floor that also has a lot of air handling and other mechanical equipment.The main equipment floor has to provide a very stable environment with no vibrations, so an LCD fab typically uses far more structural steel in its construction than a typical skyscraper.I visited a Gen 5 fab in Taiwan in 2003, and the plant manager there told me they used three times as much structural steel as Taipei 101, which was the world’s tallest building from 2004- 2010.Since the equipment floor is usually one or two stories up, there are large loading docks on the outside of the building.When they bring the manufacturing equipment in, they load it onto a platform and hoist it with a crane on the outside of the building.That’s one way to recognize an LCD fab from the outside – loading docks on high floors that just open to the outdoors.

LCD fabs have to maintain strict standards of cleanliness inside.Any dust particles in the air could cause defects in the finished displays – tiny dark spots or uneven intensities on your screen.That means the air is passed through elaborate filtration systems and pushed downwards from the ceiling constantly.Workers have to wear special clean room protective clothing and scrub before entering to minimize dust particles or other contamination.People are the largest source of particles, from shedding dead skin cells, dust from cosmetic powders, or smoke particles exhaled from the lungs of workers who smoke.Clean rooms are rated by the number of particles per cubic meter of air.A class 100 cleanroom has less than 100 particles less than 0.3 microns in diameter per cubic meter of air, Class 10 has less than 10 particles, and so on. Fab 9 has hundeds of thousands of square meters of Class 100 cleanroom, and many critical areas like photolithography are Class 10.In comparison, the air in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA is roughly Class 8,000,000, and probably gets substantially worse when an MBTA bus passes through.

Since most display manufacturing has to be done in a cleanroom and handling the glass requires such precision, the factory is heavily automated.As you watch the glass come in, it is placed into giant cassettes by robot handlers, and the cassettes are moved around throughout the factory.At each step, robots lift a piece of glass out of the cassette, and position it for the processing machines.Some of the machines, like the ones that deposit silicon or ITO, orient the glass vertically, and put them inside an enormous vacuum chamber where all the air is first pumped out before they can go to work.And then they somehow manage to deposit micrometer thin layers that are extremely uniform.It is a miracle that any of this stuff actually works.

The Hefei Gen 10.5 is one of the most sophisticated manufacturing plants in the world.On opening day for the fab, BOE shipped panels to Sony, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Vizio, and Haier.So if you have a new 65 or 75-inch TV, there is some chance the LCD panel came from here.
