Graphic LCD 84x48 - Nokia 5110

The Nokia 5110 is a versatile basic graphic LCD screen suitable for a wide range of applications. Originally designed as a cell - phone screen, it's now mounted on an easily solderable PCB. It features the PCD8544 controller, the same one used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. This low - power CMOS controller/driver is great for driving a 48 - row, 84 - column graphic display. With on - chip generation of LCD supply and bias voltages, it requires minimal external components and consumes low power. Please note that these surplus screens may have small blemishes. Also, your screen may or may not have a diode on the PCB, but it won't affect performance and may vary with shipments.

Using this Nokia 5110 graphic LCD is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your microcontroller through the serial bus interface. It's designed to be easy to work with, especially with the PCB that's simple to solder. When using, don't worry too much if you notice small blemishes on the screen as they're normal for surplus items. Also, the presence or absence of a diode on the PCB won't impact how it works. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks, as this could damage the display. With proper care, this low - power LCD will serve you well for a long time.
