6. LCD Interface

Aim:

To write a program to interface 16 X 2 LCD display with 8051 microcontroller.

Theory:

A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In
this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers.

1. Command/Instruction Register - stores the command instructions given to the

LCD. A command is an instruction given to LCD to do a predefined task like initializing,
clearing the screen, setting the cursor position, controlling display etc.

2. Data Register - stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data is the ASCII
value of the character to be displayed on the LCD.
3. To send any of the commands to the LCD

- For command, make pin RS=0

- For data, make RS=1

- Then send a high – to – low pulse to the E pin to enable the internal latch of the LCD.
