About this item

The LCD1602 Parallel LCD Display with IIC/I²C Interface is a practical and highly versatile display module featuring a classic 16×2 character layout with crisp white text on a blue backlight, ideal for Arduino-based and other microcontroller projects. It includes an I²C adapter pre-soldered onto the board, dramatically reducing wiring complexity by requiring just four connections: VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL. Operating at a nominal voltage of 5V (compatible with 3.3V systems), this display communicates via the I²C serial bus, freeing up GPIO pins for other uses. The module has a compact footprint of approximately 80mm × 36mm × 18mm, making it easy to integrate into tight projects. It uses the common I²C address 0x27, which ensures compatibility with popular libraries and simplifies programming. Perfect for displaying sensor readings, status updates, menus, or debug information, this display offers excellent readability with its LED backlight, which can be easily dimmed using a resistor or PWM. Its easy-to-use nature and widespread support across platforms make it an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike. Whether you’re building a prototype, creating an educational project, or enhancing an existing system, the LCD1602 I2C display is a reliable and cost-effective solution.
