I2C_TWI_LCD2004_(SKU_DFR0154)

Introduction

I2C/TWI LCD2004 module is a cool lcd with a high speed I2C serial bus from DFRobot. With the limited pin resources, your project may be out of resources using normal LCD shield. The LCD display is a 4x20 character STN white display with a blue LED backlight.

With this I2C interface LCD module, you only need 2 lines (I2C) to display the information.If you already have I2C devices in your project, this LCD module actually cost no more resources at all. Fantastic for Arduino based project.

Specification

I2C Address: 0x20-0x27(0x20 default) Number of Characters: 20 characters x 4 Lines Blue LED backlight with white char color Adjustable contrast Supply voltage: 5V Interface: IIC/TWI View direction: Wide viewing angle Dot size: 0.55 x 0.55 mm Dot pitch: 0.60 x 0.60 mm Character size: 2.96 x 4.75 mm Character pitch: 3.55 x 5.35 mm Size: 98x60x24mm Weight: 75g
