NKA 1.6 Inch 3.3V LCD 5110 Display 1.6 Inch LCD Display Module With Backlight PCD8544 5110 LCD Display For Arduino Raspberry Pi

The NOKIA 5110 LCD screen has a resolution of 84×48(or 48×84, however you read it) i.e. the screen has pixels arranged in 84 rows and 48 columns making a total of 4032 pixels (84*48=4032). So, since a NOKIA 5110 LCD screen is called a ‘Graphical LCD screen’, one has access to all the pixels, i mean, access to control each and every pixel individually(you know what I mean) unlike some of the LCD screens which are named as ‘Alphanumeric LCD Displays’ where one can access a block of pixels, generally 7×5 and place only a single alphabet or a number in that block of 7×5. If you have already worked with some alphanumeric LCD screens earlier(without any libraries), you are half-way done. In case, you haven’t worked with one earlier, no probs. I’ll let you know every possible detail I know.

So, as said earlier, the above image shows the arrangement of pixels in 48 rows and 84 columns( or vice-versa). Just like how each block in a alphanumeric LCD screens is addressed by a unique 8-bit code, every 8 pixels in the NOKIA 5110 LCD screen are assigned with a unique 8-bit address. So, let me explain about this 8 pixels grouping in the NOKIA 5110 LCD screen. Every 8 pixels vertically is grouped, as shown above and let’s call it a block(different from the alphanumeric LCD screen’s block). So, each block has a unique address to access it.

Specifications:

• Operating Voltage is 2.7V to 3.3V
• Current consumption is 6mA
• Consists of 48 rows and 84 columns (84×48) monochrome pixels
• Works using SPI interface
• Consists of Philips PCD8544 interface chip for easy interfacing
• Can be easily interfaced with Arduino
• Supports decent graphics of bitmap images
• Available in Green and Blue Backlight

Features:

• 84 X 84 dot matrix LCD, 4 lines
• You can use electricity conducting paste with PCB without connecting cable. Metal hooks on the module can repair module on PCB, which is easy to install and can replace them.
• LCD chip sequencer/controller was tied to LCD chip, volume is small LCD
• Low power supply, operating current in normal situation is lower than 200µA, and power-down mode.

Document for Download: Data:

• RST——— reset
• CE————chip selection
• DC———–data/commands choice
• DIN———–serial data line
• CLK————serial Clock Speed
• 3.3V————VCC
• LIGHT——— backlight control terminal
• GND———–power negative

Applications:

• Can be used to display alphanumeric characters and bitmap images
• Used in application where fancy graphics are required
• Requires only a maximum of 5 pins to operate hence I/O friendly
• Comes with a backlight and hence can be used even in darker environment
• Can be used to create retro games using microcontrollers
• Graphics are decent enough to create a basic UI

Note:

Your screen may or may not have a diode on the PCB. It does not affect performance and will vary depending on our shipment.
