    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi_HD44780_LCD_controller

    The Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller is an alphanumeric dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) controller developed by Hitachi in the 1980s. The character set of the controller includes ASCII characters, Japanese Kana characters, and some symbols in two 40 character lines. Using an extension driver, the device can display up to 80 characters. [1]

  3. Dot-matrix display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-matrix_display

    A 16×2-character dot-matrix display, where each character is made from a grid of 5×7 dots. A dot-matrix display is a low-cost electronic digital display device that displays information on machines such as clocks, watches, calculators, and many other devices requiring a simple alphanumeric (and/or graphic) display device of limited resolution.

  4. Sixteen-segment display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteen-segment_display

    Other variants include the fourteen-segment display which does not split the top or bottom horizontal segments, and the twenty-two-segment display [1] that allows lower-case characters with descenders. Often a character generator is used to translate 7-bit ASCII character codes to the 16 bits that indicate which of the 16 segments to turn on or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_display

    A text display is an electronic alphanumeric display device that is mainly or only capable of showing text, or extremely limited graphic characters.This includes electromechanical split-flap displays, vane displays, and flip-disc displays; all-electronic liquid-crystal displays, incandescent eggcrate displays, LED displays, and vacuum fluorescent displays; and even electric nixie tubes.

    Some LCD panels have native fiber-optic inputs in addition to DVI and HDMI. [155] Many LCD monitors are powered by a 12 V power supply, and if built into a computer can be powered by its 12 V power supply. Can be made with very narrow frame borders, allowing multiple LCD screens to be arrayed side by side to make up what looks like one big screen.

  8. Character generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_generator

    Character generators are primarily used in the broadcast areas of live television sports or television news presentations, given that the modern character generator can rapidly (i.e., "on the fly") generate high-resolution, animated graphics for use when an unforeseen situation in a broadcast dictates an opportunity for breaking news coverage ...

  9. Fourteen-segment display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen-segment_display

    Most of the ASCII characters (the double quote is missing) on a 14-segment display. Multiple-segment display devices use fewer elements than a full dot-matrix display, and may produce a better character appearance where the segments are shaped appropriately. This can reduce power consumption and the number of driver components.
