LED Backlight
Standard display EA DIPS082-HN is reflective, non-backlighted version. Module with part number
EA DIPS082-HNLED comes with yellow/green LED backlight. Power consumption for backlight is
50mA typ. and 80mA max. Backlight is permanent switched on.
For individual use LED backlight can be switched on and off after doing the following modification:
Remove series resistor R5 and close solder link LB. Now a positive voltage at pin 7 (D0) powers
Anode of backlight direct. To limit LED-current an external series resistor is required (R

= 0,8V /

). Please note that in this case display interface is 4-bit mode only !
