LK Series - Serial & USB Character LCD
Alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display Modules

Our LCD module line covers most of the popular LCD configurations. Control of the modules has been simplified to a set of commands delivered to the modules via RS232 and I2C communications protocols. Ease-of-use is our paradigm. Our modules are meant to save time and money. We have made every effort to ensure that tedious timing relationships and special conditions typical of display controllers are eliminated from our interface.

Advantages of LCDs
