16x2 character LCD module with white-on-green backlight, based on the HD44780 controller. Easily interfaces with Arduino via the built-in LiquidCrystal library.
This 16x2 character LCD module with white-on-green backlight is a classic and reliable display component widely used in electronics projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
It communicates via a 4-bit or 8-bit parallel interface (4-bit is standard in practice) and is compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 controller. This means it works natively with the LiquidCrystal library included in the Arduino IDE, requiring no additional drivers.
This module requires 6 digital pins for control (plus power connections). For pin-saving applications, I2C or UART variants are available, but this parallel version remains the most compatible and simplest to implement for beginners.
