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 specic applications and the easy to read 5 x 7
pixel format allows the display of uppercase, lower case,
Katakana, and custom user-dened characters. These dis-
plays are stackable in the x- and y- directions, making
them ideal for high character count displays.
