WINSTAR 16x2 Character LCD Display Module, Red/Black, FSTN, Negative, Transfuse

The WINSTAR 16x2 Character LCD Display Module offers a crisp, red and black 16-character by 2-line display, perfect for embedded systems, DIY electronics, and prototype development. This high-contrast, negative transflective (FSTN) screen is engineered for excellent readability and integrates a built-in ST7066U controller IC for straightforward interfacing.

Its default communication interface is a versatile 6800 4-bit or 8-bit parallel, providing flexibility for various microcontroller connections. The module features a compact footprint with clear character definition (5x8 dots, including a cursor), making it ideal for status readouts, menus, and data visualisation in projects.
