I want to purchase this LCD Graphic LCD 128x64 STN LED Backlight - LCD-00710 - SparkFun Electronics, but it needs to be VERY readable in bright sunlight. I will use big letters on the display, so, I should be able to get good contrast.
So :), can somebody do me a huge favour and take your display outside in bright sunlight, I mean desert sunlight! and take a few pictures at different viewing angles.
Thanks in advance.
You need to buy a reflective display for that application, not a standard backlit display. Here is an example: Winstar WG12864A-NYG-VN Graphic Display Reflective 128 x 64 Pixels | Rapid Online.
I recommend this I2C OLED module which I used in my car to display some engine data.
Thanks for the suggestions. I do not think the OLED display will work in hard desert conditions. I will look into the reflective Graphic LCD, that was my next option anyway. I will post my results as soon as I have sampled a few components.
Cheers!
From what I have read so far, is that I need a transflective monochrome display. I need the display to be viewable at night as well. I have found this :
A graphics LCD would be nice, but the above would just have to do.
