lcd commands and understanding of LCD


module
 Basic unit of display is pixel.
 PIXEL= picture + element.
 Above figure shows that each LCD have its own pixel rows and columns like 1×16 has
single raw and sixteen columns i.e. 16 pixel and each pixel size is of 5×8 as shown but
we can see only 5×7 cause last raw is used by cursor.
 Each character is display according to these pixels size.

 Below pic shows block diagram of 16×2 LCD.

 Rs -> Register select

Rs=1 mean data register is selected.

Rs=0 mean command register is selected.

 RW -> Read/Write

RW=1 mean reading from LCD module.

RW=0 mean writing to LCD module.

 EN -> Enable

EN= high to low ( Logic ‘1’ delay Logic ‘0’ ) for use LCD module .

 How characters are generate on LCD screen?

  There are three memories in LCD to manipulate display characters:

1. CGROM – character generating ROM which is responsible for


stored standard character pattern.
2. CGRAM – character generating RAM which holds custom character pattern space
( total 8 in 2×16 module).
3. DDRAM – data display RAM which stores ASCII codes.

 Steps to understand how character display:

1. Control unit of LCD receives signal(basically it is ASCII code) from user and ask to
DDRAM for its match.
2. If ASCII code match, control unit maps corresponding character pattern from CGROM.
3. According to that character pattern,  LCD screen energies and we can see character on it .

 16×2 lcd commands
