Optionally, you can also select 2 x 16 double-sized characters or a mixed display with one large and two small lines.
The panel is part of the world's most comprehensive LC display series, operating directly at 3.3 volts and requiring no additional auxiliary voltage. Its typical current consumption is 440 µA. Three high-contrast LC technologies are available: reflective and transflective FSTN with a white background, and transmissive STN with a blue background. The latter two variants can be combined with LED illumination modules in tricolor (green, red, white) or monochrome amber. The backlight is also connected directly to 3.3 V via a series resistor. It is designed for a current of between 3 and 45 mA. The display contrast is adjustable via a control. The viewing direction can be changed from bottom view to top view, for example, for installation on the front of a laboratory power supply.
Even with backlighting, the display can be installed quickly and easily. The display and lighting modules simply plug in and are soldered directly to the circuit board. No additional fixings are required.
The SSD1803A controller is integrated into the display along with three different character sets (English-Japanese, European, Cyrillic). These sets can be expanded with eight user-defined characters. Communication is via 3- or 4-wire SPI or 2-wire I²C.
The DOGS164-A is designed for ambient operating temperatures between -20 and +70°C, and its storage temperature ranges from -30 to +80°C.
All panel variants are available for orders starting from one unit. ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY guarantees a very long availability of up to ten years.
A free simulator can be downloaded from http://www.lcd-module.de/deu/disk/startdog_V43.zip. All screen versions and colors can be tested on a Windows PC before purchase. A USB test board with extensive Windows software is available for easy setup. This allows you to immediately display even your own text on the connected screen. ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY also supports developers by providing comprehensive support and a large amount of C and microcontroller code.
