This vibrant 20x4 LCD elevates your projects with black characters on an RGB background that can transition to any color imaginable—red, green, blue, pink, and beyond. Experience unmatched daylight readability with enhanced visibility and elegant design.
Perfectly compatible with existing LCD setups, it functions seamlessly even in legacy configurations by defaulting to a black-on-red display. The additional pins (17 and 18) allow for green and blue LED utilization, expanding your creative control.
With built-in resistors for simplified 5V logic operation and a current draw of around 40mA per LED, users gain remarkable customization without complicating energy management. A single LED backlight covers the entire display, demonstrating true versatility.
The package includes everything you need: a 20x4 RGB backlight LCD, a 10K contrast potentiometer, and a strip of header. Visit our detailed step-by-step guide online for integration with Arduino and CircuitPython environments.
