New 3.3V 20×4 display with 4/8 bit, I²C and SPI interface

MMS Electronics Ltd has available an exceptionally versatile line of alphanumeric and graphic displays for use in industrial and commercial applications. The latest addition to the popular 1×8, 2×16 and 3×16 display family is the new 4×20 (line x char) EA DOGM204-A high-contrast easy-to-read STN and FSTN display.

Supply voltage +3.3V without the need to supply a negative voltage. The low power design ~250µA makes it ideal for use in battery applications.  The display can be wired for 4bit, 8 bit, 4-wire SPI or 2-wire I²C interface. The onboard SSD1803 display controller has a choice of three different fonts: Cyrillic, English-Japanese and European.

Display and backlights can be ordered separately. 3 different backlights are available white, amber and a dual green/red. The dual backlight option is ideal for applications where a green (normal) or red (warning) status indication is required.  Without a backlight the displays are only 2mm thick and 5.8 mm including the LED backlight. Outline dimension 66x40mm with view area 63x26mm.  The slim design and low power makes the EA DOGM204 ideal for handheld or battery powered instruments.

A simulator tool and USB test board EA 9780-3USB is available to help with development. Without any programming the display is pictured on the Windows™ desktop and powered via USB when connected to the test board. Text typed in the editor is also displayed on the display.  The EA 9780-3USB test board can also be used with the graphic DOG display series. In graphic mode bitmaps dragged into the editor are shown on a graphic display.  When using the dual color or the RGB backlight different colours can be selected from the DIP switches on the board.

In the EA DOG display series MMS Electronics has a further 11 display sizes available starting from 1.5” to 3.9” with 4 bit, 8bit, SPI and I²C interface.  See www.mmselectronics.co.uk/lcddog.htm for further details.
