16x2 I2C LCD Display Module with Blue Backlight

16x2 I2C LCD Display Module with BLUE Backlight Overview:

This 2x16 character LCD Module with BLUE Backlight uses an I2C interface to communicate with the host microcontroller. This budget-conscious LCD is used on projects requiring the display of text, data, or ASCII characters of all types. Connect to Vcc, Gnd, SDA (serial data line), and SCL (serial clock line). This is a 5VDC device and will be found on the I2C bus at address 0x27 / 0x3F.

16x2 I2C LCD Display Module with Blue Backlight Features:

• Blue backlit display with two rows of 16 characters
• Potentiometer on back to adjust display brightness and contrast
• I2C protocol only requires two I/O pins (SDA and SCL) for control

Note: Also available with a YELLOW backlight (#26971)

16x2 I2C LCD Display Module with Blue Backlight Applications:

• Show control information (on, off, elapsed time), temperature, time, or numbers/special characters
• Access all custom characters stored in ROM
• Debugging for microcontroller projects
• Useful in dark and bright environments
