Low cost LCD module interface with optional LED backlight:

Here are the technical specifications:

  • LCD resolution: 128 x 64 pixels
  • LCD manufacturer: DisplayTech.
  • LCD model 1: 64128COG-FA-BC (no backlight)
  • LCD model 2: 64128G-FC-BW-3 (white LED backlight)
  • On-glass lcd controller KS0713, with 30 pins connector.
  • Very low power operation (less than 1mA @3V)
  • Fast serial interface (only 8 wires needed)
  • Molex miniature connector.
  • LCD: dimensions: 56 x 41 mm
  • PCB interface: Dimensions: 44 x 18 mm

These two LCD modules can be bought in our online shop. You'll need the interface described below and a PIC microcontroller to get these LCD modules running.

PIC example Source code (CCS C) , pcb layout and schematics (Eagle) available.  Last update: March 24, 2007.

Tools:

Check out our development tools page.

The PIC code was made with the PCWH CCS compiler ($425,-); you can install Microchip's MPLAB IDE (click on the link and you can get it for free) with it to get things running smoothly.

Bootloading of the PIC18F452 can be done with the excellent Tiny PIC bootloader, through RS232.

Eagle 4.11e was used for the schematic & PCB layout.
