This document describes the features and characteristics of the BTHQ 21603VSS-01 LCD module, including a 16 characters (5x8 dots) x 2 lines STN Positive Yellow Reflective Dot Matrix LCD module.
The BTHQ 21603VSS-01 is a 16‑character (5×8 dots) by 2‑line STN positive‑yellow reflective dot‑matrix LCD module with a 6 o’clock viewing angle. It uses a NOVATEK NT3881DH‑01/AI controller or an equivalent Samsung KS0065B‑PCC driver and connects via a 16‑pin ZIF SMD connector (CON‑IL‑402).
Key specifications include outline dimensions of 53.0 mm × 20.0 mm × 8.0 mm, an effective viewing area of 36.0 mm × 10.0 mm, and electrical limits such as a logic supply range of –0.3 V to +7.0 V and an LCD‑drive supply range of –0.3 V to +13.5 V. The module operates from 0 °C to +50 °C and can be stored from –10 °C to +60 °C.
