This is the great yellow backlight LCD display. It is fantastic for Arduino based project. This LCD 16×2 Parallel LCD Display with Yellow Backlight is very easy to interface with Arduino or Other Microcontrollers.This is LCD 16×2 Parallel LCD Display that provides a simple and cost-effective solution for adding a 16×2 Black on RGB Liquid Crystal Display into your project. The display is 16 characters by 2-line display has a very clear and high contrast black text upon a yellow background/backlight.
The values shown on the display can be either simple text or numerical values read by the sensors, such as temperature or pressure, or even the number of cycles that the Arduino is performing.
Note: This is a genuine JHD Display as there are many fake JHD Displays in the Market.
Features:
- 16 characters wide, 2 rows
- Black text on the yellow background
- Single LED backlight included can be dimmed easily with a resistor or PWM.
- Can be fully controlled with only 6 digital lines! (Any analog/digital pins can be used)

How to Use JHD 16×2 Character LCD Display with Green Backlight
To get started, wire VCC (5 V) and GND to power pins, connect RS, RW, and E control pins plus D4–D7 data lines (for 4-bit mode) to your microcontroller, and add a potentiometer to the Vo pin for contrast adjustment. Include a suitable LCD library (e.g., LiquidCrystal for Arduino) in your code, initialize the display with its SPLC780D controller settings, and use standard commands to print text, move the cursor, or clear the screen. Adjust the backlight current resistor if you need to fine-tune brightness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I interface the JHD659 display with an Arduino?
Use the Arduino LiquidCrystal library in 4-bit mode by wiring RS, E, D4–D7, VCC, GND, and a contrast potentiometer to Vo. Initialize with LiquidCrystal(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7) and call lcd.begin(16, 2).
Can I adjust the backlight brightness of this LCD?
Yes. You can insert a series resistor or use a PWM pin on your microcontroller to modulate the anode/cathode current of the green LED backlight for dimming.
What supply voltage and current does this module require?
The display operates at 5 V for both logic and backlight. Typical current draw is around 1 mA for logic and up to 20 mA for the backlight, depending on brightness settings.
