This LCD1602 (16x2) is designed with the AIP31068 controller. That means it has the built in I2C control embedded in the display itself. Unlike the traditional LCD1602 models, this one has only 4 pins to control the entire display.
This module provides a simple and cost-effective solution for adding a 16×2 character display to your project. It offers a very clear and high contrast text upon a the backlight.
This display overcomes the drawback of LCD 1602 Parallel LCD Display in which you’ll waste about 8 Pins on your MCU for the display to get working. Luckily this product has I2C built into the display itself. So all you need to connect are the I2C pins, which shows a good library and little of coding.
The I2C is a type of serial bus which uses two bidirectional lines, called SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line). Both must be connected via pulled-up resistors. The usage voltages are standard as 5V and 3.3V. The values shown on the display can be either a simple text or numerical values read by the sensors, such as temperature or pressure, or even the number of cycles that the MCU is performing.
