These are not the cheapest LCDs you may find, but first two are tested by me and works just fine, good contrast, and readability. If you live in Bulgaria I may tell you where from to buy cyliric displays with HD44780 compability, you preffer 16x2, or even 20x4. I am bulgarian too, I had same problem 4 years ago. In other hand ST9720 and KS0108 are 7$ and up. I check in AliExpress and there is LCD1602 with Cyrillic for 2$, which is not so expensive. ST7920, KS0108, … and then you can use any text font that you like. Since a large part of the world use Cyrillic it is possible that custom 16x2 modules are made for the Cyrillic market.Įven if you find a display with Cyrillic Font Rom, it will be expensive.īuy a Graphics Display e.g. It is NOT possible to display more than 8 user defined characters.ĩ9% of 16x2 modules use the Ascii/Japanese font Rom e.g.

Most of them have a driver IC which can handle 4 fonts - and font 2 contains Cyrrillic: This displays have a good support of Cyrillic:Īs an alternative, you could consider OLED Character Displays: they come in the same layout as LCD 1602 but are based on OLED technology. Nowadays displays with the SPLC780D1 ROM 002A can be found easier on Aliexpress or ebay. Or if you come back to me we can do it together also. But f you check the code, it's not rocket science and you will be able to add the Cyrillic letters also. As I can't read Cyrillic, I haven't done the mapping so far for Cyrillic letters. You can see my LCD library for special Characters how I did this for Latin1 - Latin4. Therefore you have to map the Cyrillic UTF8 to the ROM address.

I guess your output will be UTF8 encoded (as it's default in the Arduino world). The ST7070 LCDs can be found if you add "eastrising" in your LCD search terms.Īfter finding the LCD with proper character set, the next step is to map your output to the ROM addresses of your LCD. The ST7070 displays have more characters in the ROM including most European letters (latin 1, latin 2, partly latin 4, and Cyrillic IMHO the ST7070 Displays are the better alternative for you.

See the HD44780 Datasheet, if you find everything in the ROM Code A02 what you need before you buy. Mostly they are sold as "European/Russian". You will find Hitachi HD44780 character LCDs with Cyrillic fonts. If yes, you can edit your header of the first post.
