Description:
Nokia 5110 LCD Display Module
This product’s name reveals its origin. It is an LCD module that was used in old Nokia 5110/3310 cell phones. Now, hobbyists use it for various applications involving graphics and text.
This LCD module is very user-friendly, even though it was designed for industrial purposes. It is a basic graphic LCD screen that was originally meant for cell phones.
This LCD module is mounted on a PCB that is easy to solder. It uses a Philips PCD8544 LCD driver, which is a mobile phone LCD driver.
This LCD module is a low-cost monochrome LCD module with 84 X 48 pixels. It can display rich graphics and text content. This module can accept 3-5V input, so there is no need for an extra level shifter.
Interfacing with UNO Board:
This text describes the PCD8544 controller, which is also used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. The PCD8544 is a low-power CMOS LCD controller/driver that can drive a graphic display with 48 rows and 84 columns. It has all the functions needed for the display in one chip, such as generating LCD supply and bias voltages. This reduces the number of external components and the power consumption. The PCD8544 connects to microcontrollers through a serial bus interface.
Pin Configuration :
- RST– reset
- CE– chip selection
- DC– data/commands choice
- DIN– serial data line
- CLK– serial Clock Speed.
- VCC– 3.3V
- LIGHT– backlight control terminal
- GND– power negative
Operation of Nokia 5110 LCD Display Module at 3.3V
Many devices that can be used with an Arduino, require a power supply of 3.3V. This is also the case with the Nokia 5110. The best way to deal with 3.3V devices is to take an Arduino Pro, which can run on 3.3V.
Thanks to the internal clamp of the PCD8544 we can use a very simple level shifter. Four current limiting resistors of 10kΩ can do the job. When an LCD control line is high, the current through the 10kΩ resistor is just 40uA, so this is harmless. Note that we can’t read back from the LCD with this circuit.
Operation of Nokia 5110 LCD Display Module at 5V
Because VDD max = 7V, the PCD8544 controller can handle 5V, but the Nokia 5110 LCD works best at 3.3V. The four resistors of 10kΩ avoid streaks on the LCD display. (at 5V the screen becomes somewhat black when tested)
Features:
- 84 X 48 dot matrix LCD, can show 4 lines of characters.
- Use serial interface communicate with the master processor, the number of interface signal lines reduced greatly, only 8 signal lines including power and GND.
- Support different types of MCU, such as the Arduino, AVR, SPI, MCS51, and so on.
- Transfer rate up to 4Mbps, can full speed write display data without waiting time.
- Can use the conductive glue to connect the module to the printed board, without cables. The metal hooks on the module can fix the module on the printed board, which is very easy to install and replace.
- LCD controller/driver chip has been bound to LCD chip, the volume of LCD is small.
- Low power supply, the working current in a normal situation is lower than 200µA and has the power-down mode.
- “LIGHT” linked with GND, the backlight to be lit.
- Need you to compress the screen and PCB tighter, might be got loose after the delivery.
- Use a 3.3V controller, otherwise, the display could be quite vague.
