The Nokia 5110 from Sparkfun is a 84 x 48 pixel monochrome LCD and breakout board. It is controlled using SPI communication and several digital outputs.
Overview
An LCD is a convenient tool for communication data using text. The Nokia 5110 provides 6 rows of 12 characters of text, or can be used to draw in a 84 x 48 pixel space. The contrasted is digitally controlled and 4 white LEDs behind the LCD provide a backlight.
The LCD requires five communication pins from a microcontroller: SPI CLK and SDO, and three digital outputs. The LCD is powered with 3.3V.
