16x4 Character Sunlight Readable Displays

Elevate your outdoor projects with our range of sunlight readable 16x4 character displays. Designed for optimal performance in direct sunlight, these displays feature four lines of 16 characters each, providing a robust solution for applications where a larger information footprint is required. Our selection includes both reflective and transflective display technologies, offering superior contrast and readability whether in bright daylight or low-light conditions with the use of an optional backlight.

Key Features:

  • Expanded Character Display: Four lines of 16 characters offer more space for complex data, menus, and status updates compared to standard 16x2 displays.
  • Superior Outdoor Readability: Utilize reflective technology to bounce back ambient light, or transflective for a balanced approach that works both indoors and out.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Built to withstand extreme environmental conditions, ensuring reliability in a variety of industrial and outdoor settings.
  • Flexible Interfacing: Compatible with common parallel interfaces (4-bit and 8-bit), ensuring straightforward integration into your existing systems and development boards.

Product Comparison: Crystalfontz vs. Other LCD Suppliers

When comparing Crystalfontz's sunlight readable 16x4 displays to similar products on the market a couple key differences emerge:

  • Reliability and Cost: While products from various manufacturers often use the same common controller chips like the HD44780, there can be differences in build quality and price. Crystalfontz products are competitively priced within the market, but other options, particularly from overseas suppliers found on sites like eBay or BuyDisplay.com, may offer a lower initial cost at the potential expense of quality control or technical support.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your project's specific needs, balancing factors like price, durability, and the level of technical support you require.
