Looking to cross over this discontinued LCD? A similar Focus LCD can be found here. This display has the same mounting holes and number of characters. Each character LCD has its own options such as backlight color, type of fluid and viewing angle.

The 20×2 LCD can display 40 characters at a time. FSTN (Film Compensated STN) is an added film applied to the front polarizer and provide a sharp contrast and ease of readability from a distance.

Note: STN (super-twisted nematic) is the most common fluid type. It’s cost is slightly less then FSTN, but does not provide as sharp of contrast.

Each character is constructed with a 5×8 dot matrix. Five (5) dots across (horizontal) and eight (8) dots up (vertical). With a built-in controller driver chip, there is no need to program and refresh each dot. The integrated character table makes it easy for programing by sending a hex number to select the correct character.

FSTN provides a wider viewing angle that is legible from straight on viewing or from the left, right, top or bottom.

FSTN is widely used in: Medical, Aviation, Military, Marine, Automotive and any industry where clarity is a high priority.

The green LED backlight stands out for nighttime viewing and draws less than 30mA when on. An excellent backlight technology for battery powered products.

20×2 character displays are available in other sizes to meet the needs of your design.

Customization such as adding a touch panel or IDC cable can be completed with a low one-time NRE (Tooling cost). Once the tooling cost has been paid, there are no additional tooling cost for future production.
