السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

peace be upon all of you

i am kareem gamal
this my first post
and i am glad to be with you

i do need help to learn any thing about LCD , its driver , its types and how to deal with it


and thank you for your efforts


peace be upon all of you

You need to be a little more specific, since your post covers a range of devices with different standards.

Are you interested only in LCD's with driver chips onboard, bare glass LCD's, or both?

Are you working with a microcontroller and wish to interface to an LCD?

Which family of microcontroller?

Are you wishing to use 4 or 8 bit?


Info, info, info!

Here's something to get you started, which covers 8051 & PIC:

And here are a few related links from Nigel Goodwin's PIC tutorials:

What do you already know about LCDs? Is there anything you're unsure of?
Do you have any specific question?

well , thank you for your help

i am asked to make a report about lcd and how to interface it with microcontrooler

i want to interface lcd (which i dont know anything about it) with pic16F84A

and write some words on it

the main problem is that i dont know alot about LCD

and many thanks for you

Take a look at my tutorials, which show how to interface LCD text modules to 16F series PIC's.

Is it the HD44780?
The first time to do is read the datasheet.

You may not understand everything in it but just read it a few times and take in what you can from it. Then ask a question about something in it if you want.

ok i have some questions

1 - what is the difference between segment signal and common signal
2 - what i have understood that any lcd can write matrix of characters with 2 dimension and each character consists of a 2 dimension matrix of dots
3 - the RAM in the driver is to store the dot matrix of each character . is that true or not
4 - what is the character generator
5 - what is the use of the ROM

thank you every body

a friend of mine has send good tutorial for LCD and a simulator for it
the tutorial is for microcontroller and its applications and one of them is LCD

here it is

Architecture and Programming of 8051 Microcontrollers | Chapter 6 : Examples

and the simulator

LCD Simulator {/JavaScipt}

really thank you for your efforts
