Hi, I'm wondering with the backlit version of the hatachi lcd displays how to hook up pins 15 and 16 to get the back light working. I looked thru the datasheet but couldn't find any spec's and I'm thinking I need to put in a current limiting resistor. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers Bryan
 
Yes, definitely need a current limiting resistor also for 5V. The backlight need about 250...300mA.
