LCD Journals

What is a Character Map or Character Pattern or Character Generator?

This is code located inside the controller driver chip. This allows the customer to display which characters they want to display on the LCD module by selecting a memory location. This saves the end user much time by not having to program each segment (dot).

Below is an example of a character generator for the English language.

 

Note: There are character maps for many languages.
