Description

Nokia 5110 Display module with (84×48) monochrome pixels which is capable of displaying alphanumeric characters, draw lines and other shapes and even displays a bitmap image.The module comes with the PCD8544 interface IC which makes this module easy to use with low-level microcontrollers.Display that is better than the standard 16*2 LCD to showcase some decent graphics or custom characters.

Overview

• Nokia 5110 Display module
• (84×48) monochrome pixels
• PCD8544 chip
• Operating Voltage: 2.7V to 3.3V
• Easily interfaced with Arduino
• SPI interface

Features

• It communicates through SPI protocol and hence does not require more pins
• The module also has a readily available library for Arduino which makes it ideal even for novice programmers
• Can be easily interfaced with Arduino
• Supports decent graphics of bitmap images
• Available in Green and Blue Backlight

Specifications

• Operating Voltage: 2.7V to 3.3V
• Current consumption: 6mA
• Consists of 48 rows and 84 columns (84×48) monochrome pixels
• interface: serial SPI interface
• Consists of PCD8544 interface chip for easy interfacing

Pinouts

• RST - reset ,This pin resets the module. It an active low pin (resets when 0V is provided)
• CE - chip select ,This pin is made low (0V) to select this particular display when more than one SPI peripherals are used.
• DC - data / command selection ,This pin is used to switch between Data mode (high) and Command mode (low)
• DIN - string Line data line ,This is the input pin (MOSI) through which serial instructions are sent
• CLK - serial clock line ,All SPI modules require a common clock, this clock source is supplied to this pin
• VCC - power input (3.3v and 5v can be, experimentally verified, no problem) ,This pin is used to power the display the supply voltage is from 2.7V to 3.3V
• BL - backlight control terminal ,This pin powers the backlight of the display (3.3V maximum).
• GND - ground,Connects to the ground of the circuit.

Applications

• Comes with a backlight and hence can be used even in darker environment
• Can be used to create retro games using microcontroller
• Can be used to display alphanumeric characters and bitmap images
• Used in application where fancy graphics are required
• Requires only a maximum of 5 pins to operate hence I/O friendly

Package Included

• 1 x Nokia 5110 Display module
