Many applications use liquid crystal display to display information in a text or image format The 8 data lines and 3 control lines are used for the display of the 8051 microcontroller.
The mode is 4-bit.
The 216 has two lines with 16 chars. It supports all the chars and is used to display the characters. The characters are displayed in a matrix of 7.
The data transfer is controlled by three signals from the microprocessor. The Enable signal is a read or write strobe. The write signal is either high or low.
The R1 is used to give a contrast to the display. The crystal oscillator of 12 MHz is connected to the pins on the PIC18F4550. The C2 and C3 are used for filters.
The enable pin is used to send the enabletrigger. After sending the data, selecting the register and writing it down. A high-to-low pulse needs to be sent on this enable pin which will send the info into the register and the LCD will act accordingly.
Liquid crystal display is a type of flat panel display which uses liquid crystals. The principle of blocking light rather than emitting it is what makes the displays more efficient.
When the module is in 4-bit mode and D7:4 are used to transfer nibbles to/from the module, D3:0 are not used. There is a note about theMSB.
There are different display types.
Monochrome is a static color. There is a graphic A person. Multi-color. There is a small amount of it. The VA (Vertical alignment) is also known as the CSTN.
The steps are listed.
Select command register to move data to the port.
The data can be sent inbyte to the LCD. It also provides the ability to send the data in chunks of 4-bit, which is used when there are limited number of GPIO lines.
If you want to understand the interface, you have to know the 162 module. The module has a 162 screen. 8051 based embedded projects use 162 LCD module as a common type. It has 16 rows and 2 columns.
The article is about a 162 display with an 8051 microcontroller.
Two lines of 16 characters are displayed. The characters are displayed using a matrix. There are no powerful libraries in Keil C, which makes interfacing 162 with 8051 complex.
The data lines are connected to the port. R/W is connected to the ground because we have to just write commands. We don’t have to make this pin low in the code because of this. For display data, the register pin should be high.
