WINSTAR 16x2 Yellow Green LCD Display Module

The WINSTAR WH1602B-NYG-JT is a 16x2 character LCD display module, featuring a distinctive yellow and green reflective screen for clear, easy-to-read text in various lighting conditions. Built with an STN (Super Twisted Nematic) positive reflective technology, it offers excellent contrast without the need for a power-hungry backlight, making it an efficient choice for low-power applications.

This module is equipped with a built-in ST7066U controller IC, providing a flexible default interface compatible with 6800 4-bit or 8-bit parallel communication. This simplifies integration into a wide range of microcontroller projects and electronic systems. The display offers a character format of 16 characters by 2 lines, with each character composed of a 5x8 dot matrix, including a cursor for enhanced user interaction.

Its compact design ensures it fits neatly into space-constrained devices. The reflective viewing mode is optimised for readability under ambient light, while the optional negative voltage generation supports operation from a single +3V power supply, increasing design versatility for battery-powered equipment.
