How can I use Nokia 5110 LCD with Arduino?

Example 1

1. Connect the pin 1 (RST Pin) to the pin 6 of Arduino through the 10K resistor.
2. Connect the pin 2 (SCE Pin) to the pin 7 of Arduino through the 1K resistor.
3. Connect the pin 3 (D/C Pin) to the pin 5 of Arduino through the 10K resistor.
4. Connect the pin 4 (DIN Pin) to the pin 4 of Arduino through the 10K resistor.

What is Nokia 5110 LCD?

The Nokia 5110 is a basic graphic LCD screen for lots of applications. It uses the PCD8544 controller, which is the same used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. The PCD8544 is a low power CMOS LCD controller/driver, designed to drive a graphic display of 48 rows and 84 columns.

When was the Nokia 5110 released?

12 April 1998
The Nokia 5110 is a GSM mobile phone that was introduced by Nokia on 12 April 1998. The 5110, also known as Nokia 5146 on One2One (now T-Mobile), or the nk402 on Orange in the UK, was intended for the consumer market, succeeding Nokia 3110 and the analogue Nokia 232.

What is the liquid in LCD screen?

The basis of LCD technology is the liquid crystal, a substance made of complicated molecules. Like water, liquid crystals are solid at low temperatures. Also like water, they melt as you heat them. But when ice melts, it changes into a clear, easily flowing liquid.

What was the first Nokia phone?

Nokia 1011
1992: Nokia 1011 The world’s first mass produced phone that used the new GSM digital standard, the Nokia 1011 was ‘available in any colour, as long as it’s black’.

What are the disadvantages of LCD?

Disadvantages of LCD :

• Slightly more expensive than CRT.
• Can’t act as a portal to another dimension.
• Suffer from a motion blur effect.
• High refresh rate.
• Like the backlight ages, it can change colors slightly.
• The aspect ratio and resolution are fixed.
• Not proficient at producing black or very dark grays colors.

What is the liquid crystal used in LCD is?

LCDs utilize either nematic or smectic liquid crystals. The molecules of nematic liquid crystals align themselves with their axes in parallel, as shown in the figure.

Is Arduino Nano better than Arduino UNO?

Difference between Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano The main difference between these two is the size. Because Arduino Uno size is double to nano board. So Uno boards use more space on the system. The programming of UNO can be done with a USB cable whereas Nano uses the mini USB cable.

How to setup an Arduino on a Nokia 5110?

First of all, we have included the library for the Nokia 5110 LCD. The library will include all the commands that we will require for the Nokia 5110 LCD. Then, we have declared a variable named ‘lcd’ of type PCD8544. Then in the setup function, we have set the resolution for the Nokia 5110 LCD.

Can a Nokia 5110 LCD display be used?

You can get one here. The Nokia 5110 LCD can display text, graphics as well as bitmaps. When this display is fully lit, it draws about 10mA but with the backlight off, it draws as low as 0.4mA. The power consumed by this display is very low compared to that of the keypad LCD shield used in the previous tutorial.

What kind of controller does the Nokia 84×48 use?

The 84×48 Nokia 5110 LCD mounted on a PCB. It uses the PCD8544 controller, which is the same used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. The PCD8544 is a low power CMOS LCD controller/driver, designed to drive a graphic display of 48 rows and 84 columns.

How are data transmission pins connected on a Nokia 5110?

One of the cheap and easiest way to shift levels is to add resistors inline with each data transmission pin. Just add 10kΩ resistors between the CLK, DIN, D/C, and RST pins and a 1kΩ resistor between CE. Finally, The backlight (BL) pin is connected to 3.3V via 330Ω current limiting resistor.
