Trash characters on 16x2 display

[PickyBiker]

The following code generates trash characters after the second print. I don't see why this is happening. Tried it with 2 different 16x2 displays. on an UNO.

#include <LCD_I2C.h>
int8_t secs = 45;
LCD_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(250);
  lcd.begin();
  lcd.backlight();
  lcd.clear();
  DisplayTime();
}

void loop() {}

void DisplayTime() {
  int8_t n;

  lcd.backlight();
  lcd.setCursor(11, 0);
  lcd.print(secs / 60);
  Serial.println(secs % 60);
  lcd.setCursor(11, 1);
  n = secs % 60;
  lcd.println(n);
}

Use lcd.print, not lcd.println, println prints a carriage return and newline character after the text, which cannot be properly displayed on an LCD.

20x4?

20x4 is just one of the multiple displays I tried. All the others were 16x2 which is what I actually need.

Yes, it is the println that is causing the problem. Thank You!
