  • RGB backlight positive LCD 16x2 visual preview

    RGB backlight positive LCD 16x2

    Bare 16x2 character LCD with RGB backlight. Good when the design expects direct LCD wiring and controls the RGB backlight pins itself.

    $12.95

    $32.50
  • I2C 20x4 Arduino LCD Display Module visual preview

    I2C 20x4 Arduino LCD Display Module

    20x4 I2C character LCD. Use when the project needs four lines; not a drop-in for a 16x2 enclosure or layout.

    $14.00

    Gravity: I2C 16x2 Arduino LCD with RGB Backlight Display V2.0

    16x2 Gravity I2C RGB LCD. Similar purpose to other 16x2 I2C displays, but connector ecosystem and board size still matter.

    $11.90

  • Grove - 16x2 LCD - White on Blue visual preview

    Grove - 16x2 LCD - White on Blue

    Grove 16x2 display module. Grove connector makes it convenient in Grove systems, not automatically drop-in for Qwiic or bare parallel LCD wiring.

    €7.01
  • Grove - 16x2 LCD - Black on Red visual preview

    Grove - 16x2 LCD - Black on Red

    Grove 16x2 display with a different backlight/color variant. Treat as same Grove display class, then verify exact SKU and stock.

    €7.73
  • Grove - 16x2 LCD - Black on Yellow visual preview

    Grove - 16x2 LCD - Black on Yellow

    Grove 16x2 display color variant. Functionally adjacent to the other Grove 16x2 rows, but not proof of identical module electronics.

    SparkFun TFT LCD Breakout - 1.8" (128x160)

    1.8 inch 128x160 color TFT breakout. Use when the design expects a small SPI-style graphics display, not as a character LCD replacement.

  • 1.8" TFT LCD 160x128 RGB visual preview

    1.8" TFT LCD 160x128 RGB

    Raw 1.8 inch 160x128 RGB TFT panel. SparkFun notes 9-bit SPI support, so treat it as a lower-level panel, not a drop-in for easier breakout boards.

    $2.95
  • DFRobot 0.96" 160x80 Color SPI TFT Display visual preview

    DFRobot 0.96" 160x80 Color SPI TFT Display

    0.96 inch 160x80 color SPI TFT module. Useful for compact graphics, but the tiny resolution and code assumptions differ from 1.8 inch and larger TFTs.

    $9.95

  • RGB backlight negative LCD 16x2 visual preview

    RGB backlight negative LCD 16x2

    Parallel 16x2 RGB character LCD with dark background. Similar project role to the positive 16x2 RGB LCD, but check text/background polarity, extra RGB backlight pins, 5 V drive assumptions, contrast wiring and panel appearance before swapping.

    $13.95
  • RGB backlight negative LCD 20x4 visual preview

    RGB backlight negative LCD 20x4

    Parallel 20x4 RGB character LCD with dark background. Not a drop-in 16x2 replacement: it changes character geometry, board size, backlight current and UI layout.

    $24.95
  • RGB backlight positive LCD 20x4 visual preview

    RGB backlight positive LCD 20x4

    Parallel 20x4 RGB character LCD with light background. Compare against the negative 20x4 variant for readability and background style; compare against 16x2 parts for enclosure and firmware layout changes.
