Driving Liquid Crystal Displays with the PIC16F913/914/916/917/946

The PIC16F913/914/916/917/946 microcontroller family provides an integrated LCD Driver module that directly drives LCD displays. In large scale applications, directly driving a custom LCD display can provide significant cost savings. In addition, low-power applications can benefit from the low operating current of a PIC microcontroller, compared to stand-alone LCD controllers. This application note describes all of the steps necessary in configuring and operating LCD displays with the LCD Driver module.
