Lcd stands for liquid crystal display. Character and graphical lcd's are most common among hobbyist and diy electronic circuit/project makers. Since their interface serial/parallel pins are defined so its easy to interface them with many microcontrollers. Many products we see in our daily life have lcd's with them. They are used to show status of the product or provide interface for inputting or selecting some process. Washing machine, microwave,air conditioners and mat cleaners are few examples of products that have character or graphical lcd's installed in them.Liquid Crystal Displays with and without led backlights using standard parallel or serial interfaces.
