Optrex 40x2 Display

[MaG2k]

Hey @ all,

 

i am searching for a green negative display with 40x2 characters for my second SEQ V4. I found one at mouser that fit my parameters but i didn't found if the NT3881 controller of this optrex C-51850NFQJ-LG-ACN
 display is compatible to the HD44780 standard display driver.

Does anyone of you used that display allready or isn't it working with this application (SEQ V4)?

 

Thanx for your help!

Those are fine, I use them all the time, I actually used those exact green ones on my SEQ..  Just make sure when shopping at Mouser. you go by the part#, not the picture when picking one out.  The one in the link is a good example, the pic shows a white on black but the description is for a green one.  I always check the Kyocera site, they are always correct there..  .  Find my thread about improving the contrast on those, I had a really hard time getting them to look good (the backlight was shining through and they looked blotchy) so I made some changes to the circuit which improved things a lot

Yes i allready realised that the picture on the Mouser website doesn' match the parameters.

 

Can you post / link your thread about improving contrast here?

 

Thanx
