Contrast Adjustment
Contrast voltage for all displays of EA DIP162-D series is typ. 5V. That means
that for 3.3V operation an additional negative voltage of min. 1.7V is required.
Display modules for -20..+70°C are equipped with an on-board temperature compensation. So
there's no more need for contrast adjustment while operation anymore.
Backlight
Using the LED backlight requires an current source or external current-limiting resistor. Forward
voltage for yellow/green backlight is 3.9~4.2V and for white LED backlight 3.0~3.6V. Please take
care of derating for T
>+25°C
a
Note: Do never drive backlight direct to 5V; immediately damage my happen !
Character set
Character set shown below is already built in. In addition to that you are able to define up to 8
characters by yoursself.

Clears all displayand returns the cursor
to the home position (Address 0).
Returns the Cursor to the home position
(Address 0). Also returns the display
being shifted to the original position. DD
RAM contents remain unchanged.
Sets the Cursor move direction and
specifies or not to shift the display.
These operation are performed during
data write and read.
Sets ON/OFF of all display(D) cursor
ON/OFF (C), and blink of cursor position
character (B).
Moves the Cursor and shifts the display

without changing D D RA M conte nts.
Sets interface data length (DL) number
of display lines (L) and character font
(F).
Sets the CG RAM address. CG RAM
data is sent and received after this
setting.
Sets the DD RAM address. DD RAM
data is sent and received after this
setting.
Reads Busy flag (BF) indicating internal
operation is being performed and reads
address counter contents.

Creating your own characters
All these character display modules got the feature to create 8 own characters (ASCII Codes
0..7) in addition to the 192 ROM fixed codes.
1.) The command "CG RAM Address Set"
defines the ASCII code (Bit 3,4,5) and
the dot line (Bit 0,1,2) of the new
character. Example demonstrates
creating ASCII code $00.
2.) Doing 8 times the write command
"Data Write" defines line by line the
new character. 8th. byte stands for the
cursor line.
3.) The new defined character can be
