    The document discusses interfacing an LCD display with a microcontroller in 4-bit mode to save pins. It provides an overview of LCD 4-bit operation, the circuit diagram, code in C to initialize and write to the LCD, and a main function to display text. Key steps include initializing the LCD by writing special sequences, setting the data/command register, clearing the display, and using functions to write strings and characters to the LCD at specific locations.

    In the recent years LCD, is finding in daily use replacing LEDs which may be Single, Seven Segment or Multi Segment LEDs Because of Declining Pricing of LCD and ability to display numbers, characters and graphics. Another advantage of LCD is that, Incorporation of refreshing controller in to LCD for relieving the CPU of the task of refreshing LCD. Download Code (KEIL Project) (Zip Format)

    Why LCD 4-Bit Operation?


    LG CINEMA 3D Monitor
    You may be Surprised why we using LCD in 4-Bit Mode and How its Possible? LCD in 4-Bit means we are 4 Lines of data bus instead of using 8 Line data bus. In this Method, we are Splitting Bytes of data in Nibbles. If you successfully interface Microcontroller with LCD with 4 Pins. Then we can save 4 Lines of Microcontroller, which pins we can used for other purpose. In this Article we are using 16 x 2 LCD. Same Process in Repeated For all Type of Character LCDs expect Minor Changes
