The Graphic LCD Phidget allows you to display simple images and text. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.

Features

• The screen is 128 pixels wide and 64 pixels tall, and each pixel is 0.45 mm
• Backlight brightness and pixel contrast can both be controlled from software
• Draw individual pixels, straight lines or rectangles
• Write text to the screen in three different fonts, or design your own bitmap font
• Save up to 3 frames so you can easily copy regions to the screen

Note: The LCD1100_1 has different backlight brightness characteristics, so the screen may look different from the previous revision.
