16x2 Yellow Sunlight Readable Character OLED

Part Number: CFAL1602C-YT

4-Bit/8-Bit Parallel To Host

The OLED technology of the yellow-on-black sunlight readable CFAL1602C-YT provides a striking, high contrast visual appearance that stays consistent from -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). Since OLEDs are emissive, there is no backlight, resulting in a thinner package that is ideal when you need a reliable 16x2 character display and space is at a premium. The modern look of the CFAL1602C-YT OLED display provides a very wide 160° viewing angle, keeping the same crisp view from nearly any direction.

This 16x2 character OLED is compatible with our 8x2 pin dual row header. With no backlight and no contrast controls, designing in the CFAL1602C-YT reduces the number of control lines needed.

The command set of the on-board WS0010 controller is similar to the industry standard Hitachi HD44780 and compatibles, reducing your adoption time of the CFAL1602C-YT into your project. With four built in font tables, multi-language support is a breeze.

Looking to change the look of your existing product that uses our STN LCD CFAH1602C? The CFAL1602C-YT has the same physical footprint.

Product Update #11116: Bezel Change

Products Affected: CFAL0802A-Y, CFAL1602C-B, CFAL1602C-W, CFAL1602C-Y, CFAL1602C-YT, CFAL1602C-PW, CFAL1602C-PY, CFAL1602C-PYT
Date Issued: February 21, 2022
Summary: Bezel Change
Description: The bezel around these OLED displays is being modified to remove the small gap adjacent to the PCB.
Reason: This gap is used in the manufacturing of STN LCDs that share the same bezel and is not necessary for OLED displays.
Availability: Contact Crystalfontz Support for up-to-date information by emailing support@crystalfontz.com.

Product Update #11103: Reset pin modification

Products Affected: CFAL1602C-YT, CFAL1602C-PW, CFAL1602C-PY, CFAL1602C-PYT, CFAL5016A-PY
Date Issued: October 14, 2021
Summary: Reset pin modification
Description: RST and CST, the components in the RC filter for the reset pin, are being modified. RST will be 33kOhms and CST will be 1uF.
Reason: Some reset circuits have shown not to be strong enough to drive the reset pin within the specified timing. If the reset circuit is not strong enough, the controller will not properly reset which causes abnormal behavior.

Part Change Notice #11077: Small Layout Change

Products Affected: CFAL2004A-Y, CFAL2002A-Y, CFAL1602L0-Y, CFAL1202A-Y, CFAL5016A-Y, CFAL0802A-Y, CFAL1602C-W, CFAL1602C-Y, CFAL1602C-YT, CFAL1602C-PW, CFAL1602C-PY, CFAL5016A-PY
Date Issued: February 10, 2021
Summary: Small Layout Change
Description: Changing manufacturing locations of the wafers used in the controller chip. The layout has to be slightly modified to accommodate the practices at the new facility. The functionality will remain the same.
Reason: Changing manufacturing locations due to the wafer process no longer being supported by the original facility.
