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 microproces-

sor, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome interface 

components. The serial IC interface allows higher charac-

ter 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 dis-

plays  are  stackable  in  the  x-  and  y-  directions,  making 

them ideal for high character count displays.
