Problem With Interfacing LCD with Arduino

Sorry about the font, i just want to highlight the message. No other intention.

Actually, i tried to hovering around 0.5v but i just could not get the display.

I experimented from 0-1v paying extra attention when nearing 0.5v.

The reason why i am posting here is because i followed the requirement given by the tutorial, but still it could not

display " hellow world ", even with the 10k potential meter.

Thats why i am very clueless now. The best display i can get is just blocks that appear during initial power up and after

5-10s fades away.
