Category: Our Brand Exclusives

The mLink Character LCDs are serial (I2C/IIC) LCD displays available in either 16 column by 2 row (16x2), or 20 column by 4 row (20x4) options. Because they use a standard I2C interface they are compatible with most microcontrollers including Arduino, are addressable (address can be changed in software), and only require 2 data pins for communication. Unlike standard serial or parallel character displays they require no configuration or setup to use them saving on development time and code size.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ella I. ★★★★★

Finally got my 16x2 model hooked up, and the I2C interface saved me so many GPIO pins on my project. The backlight is nice and even, making the white characters pop perfectly against the blue background.

Matthew X. ★★★★★

Backlit or not, the 16x2 is crisp and readable from across my workbench; the I2C hookup meant only four wires to solder. Took maybe five minutes to get scrolling text up and running, which is a win for a lazy afternoon project.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The I2C wiring took me about ten minutes and it worked on the first try, which never happens with my other displays. The 16x2 size is perfect for my clock project, and the contrast is crisp even in bright light.
