- 4. Introduction • LCD display is an inevitable part in almost all embedded projects and this pre is about interfacing a 16×2 LCD with 8051 microcontroller. • Many guys take it hard to interface LCD module with the 8051 but the fact is that if you learn it properly, its a very easy job and by knowing it you can easily design embedded projects like • Digital voltmeter / ammeter, • Digital clock, • Home automation displays, • Status indicator display, • Display for music players etc.
- 5. Liquid Crystal Diode (LCD) • A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a thin , flat panel display device used for electronically displaying information such as text ,images and moving picture. • LCD is used in Computer monitors, Televisions , Instrument panels, Gaming devices etc. • Polarization of lights is used here to display objects.
- 6. Why LCD ? • Smaller size —LCDs occupy approximately 60 percent less space than CRT displays an important feature when office space is limited. • Lower power consumption—LCDs typically consume about half the power and emit much less heat than CRT displays. • Lighter weight —LCDs weigh approximately 70 percent less than CRT displays of comparable size. • No electromagnetic fields —LCDs do not emit electromagnetic fields and are not susceptible to them. Thus, they are suitable for use in areas where CRTs cannot be used. • Longer life —LCDs have a longer useful life than CRTs.
- 7. 16×2 LCD • 16×2 LCD module is a very common type of LCD module that is used in 8051 based embedded projects. • It consists of 16 rows and 2Â columns of 5×7 or 5×8 LCD dot matrices. • The module were are talking about here is type number JHD162A which is a very popular one . • It is available in a 16 pin package with back light ,contrast adjustment function . • Each dot matrix has 5×8 dot resolution

- 10. 16×2 LCD module commands 38 Use 2 lines and 5×7 matrix 83 Cursor line 1 position 3 3C Activate second line 08 Display OFF, Cursor OFF C1 Jump to second line, position1 OC Display ON, Cursor OFF C1 Jump to second line, position1 C2 Jump to second line, position2
- 11. LCD initialization • The steps that has to be done for initializing the LCD display is given below and these steps are common for almost all applications. • Send 38H (Use 2 lines and 5×7 matrix)to the 8 bit data line for initialization • Send 0FH for making LCD ON, cursor ON and cursor blinking ON. • Send 06H for incrementing cursor position. • Send 01H for clearing the display and return the cursor.
- 12. Sending data to the LCD The steps for sending data to the LCD module is given below. Make R/W low. • Make RS=0 if data byte is a command and make RS=1 if the data byte is a data to be displayed. • Place data byte on the data register. • Pulse E from high to low. • Repeat above steps for sending another data
- 13. LCD Contrast Control • LCD display contrast is adjusted through a variable resistor . • A potentiometer is connected between the appropriate power supply rails (Vdd and Vss for single supply, and Vee and Vdd for higher voltage LCD modules). The wiper of the pot is connected to Vo (LCD bias voltage input, see below). The LCD is then positioned at the nominal viewing position, and the pot is adjusted to obtain the desired LCD appearance
