3 Volts LCD?

3 Volts LCD?

2005-08-16 by JChavez@soboce.com

Hi all,

Does anyone know if  there is 3 Volts 2x16 LCDs? I mean HD44780 style.
If so where I can buy them?

TIA,
Javier

The Powertip LCDs I use will go down to 2.7V:

Hi Javier,

You may want to look at the Display-On-Glass modules from Electronic 
Assembly, they can be interfaced in 4-bit or 8-bit parallel mode, or 
in SPI mode which saves CPU pins. There are LED backlights in various 
colors available that also operate from a 3.3V supply.

Here's the datasheet: http://www.lcd-module.com/deu/pdf/doma/dog-m.pdf

Best regards,
Hans

Hello Leon,

I too am looking for a true 3.3v capable LCD. I've examined the PowerTip
display and true it's logic will run down to 2.7 volts. However, the LCD
operating voltage still requires a volt lower voltage floor (4.1v voltage
total) to achieve appropriate contrast control. (for the 1602D you use)

How are you actually running your LCD units at 3 volts to overcome this? do
you use a small negative supply of some sort to provide this voltage?

Thanks,

Jim Hatley

I'm not actually running them at 3V. If I was, I'd probably use a simple 
charge pump driven by a toggled output to generate the negative voltage.

Thank you Leon,

Sorry, I thought that you were actually running it at 3 volts. Yes, I can
think of several ways to generate the negative voltage too... I will have to
think on it...

Thanks again,

Jim
