True, but unlike your display, the display I linked works out of the box with Arduino and can even display temperatures!
Good luck with your possibly hopeless quest.
Sorry, It's just hard, because I look it up and it's coming in a month, it's ebay to, is there one for amazon? If there is, let my know.
This is when this display you report to me will come:
Estimated between Mon. Nov. 22 and Tue. Dec. 7
Today is Nov. 3.
Hey guys, all i'm trying to do is make a temperature project with this LCD display that measures temperature for my Arduino. So what i'm trying to do is use this module. I am wondering, under the brown connector there is a name called TH on the front and HT on the back. What does that mean, also there is capacitors and resistors on the board looks like it's connecting to the cob chip so how this even works. To my guest it's means, temperature for the T and humidity for the H, so I might be called. temperature/humidity or humidity/temperature, for TH and HT.
Last time I was connecting the TH/HT connector to the digital pins from the Arduino. But I was just flashing and staying on the segments. Then I change the resistance from the TH/HT pins but I was slowing then started flashing.
This doesn't show temperature, it just stay on sold, adjusting the resistance made the segments flash the G segment is on and temperature meter shows C on the top right of the thermometer.
Here's the temperature display on.
Not sure what "HT" means other than "TH" backwards - on the other side of the board, but pretty sure "TH" simply means "thermistor".
I connect the thermistor to the brown connector on each side, but It wasn't showing temperature. It was showing nothing but blank. The backlight was on but It didn't read Fahrenheit for Celsius. It was blank, maybe because that not a pin that measure temperature, it might be a data input or a signal input.
Here's the picture of the project.
The two green alligator clips connects to power connection and the red and yellow alligator clips connect from the TH connection to the thermistor as shown.
Did you check with a potentiometer instead of a thermistor?
Also, check if one of the TH pins is directly connected to GND. If it is, try to apply small voltage to the other pin - you can try using a potentiometer connected as voltage divider to the two TH pins and the + pin.
rainyshadow, I connect the pot to each of the TH pins and the + pin. But the display was sold on with the segments, i'm posing a circuit diagram and the segment on picture.
By the ways, I connect one of the TH pins to the positive from the pot, ground is going to the IC chip, I think so when I connect the circuit on the diagram, as I was adjusting the resistance it made the
display segments stay sold on, but when I disconnect one of the wires from the TH pin, it was flashing when I make the resistance higher and sold on at max resistance, same thing on the other end of the pot, I was sold on but when I increase the resistance higher, it was flashing too. Don't know how but the two TH pins are somehow in a loop circuit with makes the display segments flash.
But it's flashes opposite than the other TH pin. It must have reverse the segments on the display like inverting it, so that cob chip must be doing something with the circuit.
Here's the diagram.
This is the wiring at the top.
You skipped checking if one of the TH pins is connected to the "-" pin (GND).
The point of this test is to see whether the board expects resistance or voltage as input.
Connect the ends of the pot to "-" and "+", connect the center to one of the TH pins.
It is better to not use the Arduino as a power suppy for this test, because if the TH connected to the pot is same as GND, turing the pot all the way will short + and GND and may damage the voltage regulator.
Got it.
Sorry about that, I thought connect the center of the pot to the "+" pin, then connect each the ends to each of the TH pins, my mistake. You mean connect the ends of the pot to the "-" and "+" then connect the one of the TH pins to the center.
Thank you for popping that up.
rainyshadow, this is confusing, The TH pins are connected to ground, but one on the right is connected to ground and one on the left is connected to ground but my meter display's 10 ohms.
The circuit is really confusing, it's like the TH pins are connect with different resistance. The one on right was 0 ohms mean shorted close to the ground, but the one on left was 10 ohms to the ground. So basically it's a resistance combo of the TH pins but one shorted to ground which is the right.
Here's the picture of the front of it
left TH and right TH pins
If the right TH pin is ground, this leaves the left TH pin for the signal.
Connect the center of the pot to the left TH.
What value is the potentiometer by the way?
My pot does show a resistance value, but I measure it with my multimeter, it was about 10k ohms on the ends of it.
Not actually a significant difference. And unless there is some other device supplying power, it will be resistance.
(Exception is a thermocouple, but that is obviously not the case here.)
That would be the usual one to come with an Arduino kit. 
What pot should I use? My pot or a different pot.
A 10k pot is fine. Connected with the wiper to one "TH" pin and one end of the pot to the other "TH" pin, what happens as you slowly turn the pot through its full range?
