The Functions of LCD could be defined as bellow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Power Supply: the first two pins of LCD must be connected to +5V and 0V.<\/li>\n
  2. Vo: the V0 pin is a contrast pin used to set the contrast of LCD using variable resistor (VR) about 10K in range 0-5V.<\/li>\n
  3. Register Select (RS): the RS is a command pin for the LCD. The LCD command and RW operations are set by RS pin. The LCD consists of two registers i.e. the data and command register. When command writes on the LCD, the data register is used. When the data either read or write on the LCD, the command register is used. The selections of register are determined by the logic status of RS. If the logic state of RS is \u20181\u2019, the data register is selected. If the logic state of RS is \u20180\u2019, the command register is selected.
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Enable: When the data send to data pins of LCD, the high to low pulse will be given.<\/li>\n
  5. Data Pins (DB0-DB7): <\/strong>The DB0-DB7 is data input\/output (I\/O) pins. The LCD is accepted the 8 bit data as a parallel form. The format of data stream is first bit must be LSB bit continue it the other bits are sent. The LCD supports only an ASCII value.<\/li>\n
  6. LED Backlight: The pin no\u2019s 15 and 16 are allocated for LCD backlight. The supply of LED backlight is +5V and 0V. It makes a brightness of the LCD display. The LED backlight pins are denoted as (Anode (A), Cathode (K)) on the LCD.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For summary, The LCD consists of 8-Data lines 0f DB0-DB7, RS- Register Select line, RW-Read Write line, and En- Enable line (See Fig. 3).<\/p>\n

    The initialization to display characters to the LCD, First the LCD requires to send commands to initialize the display, Curser Position, Clear Display, increment curser etc. All this command are send to instruction Register. Instruction Register can be enabled by RS = \u20180\u2019, RW = \u20181\u2019, En= \u20181\u2019. The ASCII codes to command in the FPGA are shown in below,<\/p>\n

    38 = Function Set: 8-bit, 2 Line, 5×7 Dots<\/p>\n

    0c = Display on Cursor off<\/p>\n

    06 = Entry Mode<\/p>\n

    01= Clear Display<\/p>\n

    C0 = Place Curser to 2nd<\/sup> line<\/p>\n

    After sending commands, Data can be transferred to Display in the LCD. For sending, Data enable and Data Register by sending RS= \u20191\u2019, RW= \u20181\u2019, En= \u20191\u2019.<\/p>\n

    Data can be transferred in 2 ways 8-bit mode and 4-bit mode and for interfacing in 8-bit mode with the entire Data pin DB0-DB7.<\/p>\n
