LCD display (IIC)

The clear LCD display with the PCF8574T IIC converter allows for simple text display on two lines of 16 characters. Thanks to the I2C interface, you can easily connect it to the micro:bit using only two data wires. The display is ideal for school projects such as smart flower pots, measuring stations or information panels.

The module does not contain a backlight, which saves energy and is suitable for use in well-lit classrooms. The display operates over a wide temperature range and supports both English and Japanese character sets.
