Description

The HCMS-29xx series are high performance, easy

to use dot matrix displays driven by on-board CMOS

ICs. Each display can be directly interfaced with a

microprocessor, thus eliminating the need for

cumbersome interface components. The serial IC

interface allows higher character count information

displays with a minimum of data lines. A variety of

colors, font heights, and character counts gives

designers a wide range of product choices for their

specific applications and the easy to read 5 x 7 pixel

format allows the display of uppercase, lower case,

Katakana, and custom user-defined characters. These

displays are stackable in the x- and y- directions,

making them ideal for high character count displays.
