The VK162-12 is an intelligent LCD display designed to decrease development time by providing an
2
instant solution to any project. With the ability to communicate via serial RS-232/TTL and I
C protocols,
the versatile VK162-12 can be used with virtually any controller. The ease of use is further enhanced by an
intuitive command structure to allow display settings such as backlight brightness, contrast and baud rate to
be software controlled. Additionally, up to thirty-two custom characters such as character sets for bar graphs,
medium and large numbers may be stored in the non-volatile memory to be easily recalled and displayed at
any time. Extended voltage, and temperature options are also available, to allow you to select the display
which will best fit your project needs.
