A simple and affordable 16×2 character LCD module for displaying text, readings, and status messages from your microcontroller. With pre-soldered header pins, it's ready to connect straight to an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other development board.

This HD44780-compatible display features a blue backlight with white text, providing clear visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions. It operates on a standard parallel interface using 4-bit or 8-bit data modes.

Key Features

• 16×2 Character Display – Two rows of 16 characters each for displaying text, sensor data, or menus
• Pre-Soldered Headers – Ready to use on a breadboard or with jumper wires, no soldering required
• 5V Operation – Compatible with most microcontroller platforms including Arduino
• HD44780-Compatible Controller – Works with widely available libraries (LiquidCrystal for Arduino)
• Adjustable Contrast – Use a potentiometer on the V0 pin to fine-tune character visibility
• Blue Backlight – White characters on a blue background for clear readability

Ideal For

• Displaying sensor readings (temperature, humidity, distance)
• User interface menus for microcontroller projects
• Status messages and debugging output
• Learning electronics and programming
