Nokia 5110 LCD Display Module for Arduino — 84×48 Blue Backlight
The Nokia 5110 module mounts the classic 84×48 pixel monochrome LCD from the Nokia 5110 phone on a breakout PCB with a PCD8544 SPI controller. At 3.3V logic with SPI speeds up to 4MHz, it connects directly to an ESP8266 or ESP32 without level shifting; for 5V Arduino Uno, 10k resistors on each SPI line protect the controller. The blue backlight gives white text on blue for high legibility in low light.
- 84×48 pixel monochrome LCD — PCD8544 controller
- 5-wire SPI interface — CLK, DIN, DC, CE, RST
- 3.3V logic — resistors needed for 5V Arduino
- Blue backlight — controllable via BL pin (PWM dimmable)
- Adafruit PCD8544 library compatible
