WH2004A is a 2.89-inch 20x4 character LCD display with 20 characters per line across 4 lines. The module uses a COB (Chip on Board) structure and measures 98.0 x 60.0 x 13.6 mm, with a viewing area (VA) of 77.0 x 25.2 mm. The default configuration uses the ST7066 LCD controller with a 6800 4/8-bit parallel interface.
The default supply voltage is 5V, with a 3V option also available. When using the 3V supply configuration, the negative voltage supply is limited to 3V. LCD display options include positive gray, positive yellow-green, negative blue, and positive or negative FSTN. LED backlight colors include blue, green, white, yellow-green, amber, red, and RGB.
Versions using the ST7066 controller are available with multiple character font sets, including English/Japanese, Western European, Scandinavian European, Cyrillic (Russian), and Hebrew/Arabic.
I2C Interface Options for 20x4 Character LCDs
WINSTAR offers I2C interface options across its 20x4 character LCD product range. These I2C versions provide an alternative to the 6800 parallel interface for designs that require serial communication while using fewer MCU I/O connections. For the WH2004A series, the WH2004A2 I2C version uses the RW1063 controller.
Interface Options
- WH2004A: 6800 4/8-bit parallel interface (ST7066 IC)
- WH2004A1: 4-line SPI interface (RW1063 IC)
- WH2004A2: I2C interface (RW1063 IC)
