16×2 LCD Display Module HD44780 Character Display for Arduino and Raspberry Pi

This 16×2 LCD shows 16 characters in each of its 2 rows, so you can print text, sensor readings, and simple messages right from your Arduino or other microcontroller. It uses the popular HD44780 controller, which is supported by the standard LiquidCrystal library, so it is easy to set up and code.

Where You Can Use a 16×2 LCD Display

It is one of the most common modules for beginner projects. You can show temperature and humidity readings, build a digital clock, a distance meter, a voltage monitor, a password lock screen, or a simple menu for your gadget. The module has a backlight so the text stays readable in low light, and a pin to adjust the contrast. It works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other boards in either 4-bit or 8-bit mode.
