OK162-12-OR-E

The OK162-12-OR-E is an LCD display module used for displaying alphanumeric characters. It is a type of display module that provides excellent visibility, with high illumination intensity, white characters and a dark background. This type of display is especially useful in applications where quick and clear information needs to be seen at a glance, such as ATMs, instrumentation, and medical and automotive applications.

The OK162-12-OR-E has a 0.42-inch (12mm) character height, a 6 x 8 dot matrix format, and a total of 128 single dot character font. Its dimensions are 1.6 x 2.55 x 0.55 inches and it can be operated with a power supply voltage of 5V and a display current of 20mA. The display can be programmed to use either 8-bit or 4-bit parallel interface.

The working principle of the OK162-12-OR-E is based on the shift register scan method. In this method, the dot data is scanned in sequence and the display is refreshed continuously. This means that only one data bit needs to be sent from the controller to the display each time. The data is stored first in the shift register, and then shifted to the character row and column circuit. In this way, the data is displayed on the LCD.

The display module is suitable for applications within a temperature range of -20 °C to +70°C (33°F to 93°F). In addition, the display module is designed to provide optimal viewing angle in all directions and it is RoHS and UL compliant.

The OK162-12-OR-E is a very versatile and reliable LCD display module that provides excellent visibility and clarity. It is suitable for a wide range of applications where quick and clear information needs to be seen at a glance. With its simple interface, fast and easy programming, and small size, the OK162-12-OR-E is an excellent choice for many different projects.
