BRIEF

ABOUT

16X2 LCD

A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2
such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix.
This LCD has two registers.
1. Command and Instruction register: Stores the command instructions
given to the LCD. A command is a instruction given to the LCD to do
predefined task like initializing , clearing the screen , setting the
cursor position , controlling display etc.
2. Data Register- stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data
is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD.

Pin description of 16*2 LCD.

Programming the LCD:

To send the data on the LCD, data is first written to the data pins with
R/W = 0 (to specify write operation) and RS = 1 (to select data
register). A high to low pulse is given to the EN pin when data is sent.
Each write operation is performed on the positive edge of the enable
signal.
To send the command on the LCD, particular command is first written to
the data pins with R/W = 0 (to specify write operation) and RS = 0 (to
select command register). A high to low pulse is given to the EN pin
when data is sent. Each write operation is performed on the positive
edge of the enable signal.

Commonly used LCD command codes:

PROGRAM:
- Write C language program interfacing LCD display with 8051. See

-

Write an LCD program to display your last name on the first line
and the current year on the second line. Both should be in the
middle of the line.

Questions:

1. How does the LCD distinguish data from instruction codes when receiving
information at its data pin?

2. To send the instruction code 01 to clear the display, we must make RS = ___.

3. To send letter 'A' to be displayed on the LCD, we must make RS = ____.

4. What is the purpose of the E line? Is it an input or an output as far as the LCD is
concerned?

5. When is the information (code or data) on the LCD pin latched into the LCD?
