    Introduction: This 84x48 pixel black and white LCDs are what you might have found in an old Nokia 3310 or 5110 cell phone. They’re not flashy, not colorful and there’s no touch screen. But, they are cheap and easy to control. If you’re looking to step up your project’s user interface (UI) from simple character displays or LEDs, this graphic LCD is a good place to start.
