The DISPLAY package contains several liquid crystal display (LCD) components. These components can be used for displaying a number of characters from the ASCII set.
The serial display components accept serial data input and display the characters received in the stream. This makes these components extremely easy to incorporate into a project which uses serial data transfer. Instead of having to build complex decoding logic over the top of a basic display component, you can plug these components directly into any source of serial data.
Individual components in the package are detailed on their own pages. Drill down through the links below for more information on each type of display.
More detailed information is also available about the version of the ASCII character set that is displayed by the components (ASCII characters for index values 0-127 are standard, but display characters for values 128-255 have no standard definition).
Information about special commands communicated using reserved ASCII codes is also provided.
