LCD for arabic letter

anyone knows where i can get it ?

Your best bet might be to go with a graphical LCD, so you can define the characters any which way you want. This will take more memory in your microcontroller (if that is what you are using) to control it, of course. I don't know of any character LCDs that feature Arabic lettering as default (most are chinese or english); they might exist, but they might be a really niche product and difficult to find (or require special order from a manufacturer; you won't be able to buy just one). Another option might be to look into a character LCD in which all of the characters may be customized; then you could load your own font. I've never seen such a display, though (most character LCDs allow for only a few user-defined characters).

ok , i will try to find one

thanks for the information

hi!
really u should use a garaphical LCD and this is a project to write arabic on LCDs.
i use a one which depend on HD44102CH and HD44103CH with MCU . it is some kind cheap and its 16x250(small) iuse it for test and this is a picture for arabic great word.

hi thanks for the information

maybe GLCD is the best choice

BTW , how did you generate the code ?

I also post frequently to the Arduino forums, and a guy there mentioned that he had a Hebrew character LCD; I asked him if he knew of one for Arabic script - it seems like something like that should exist...

You might try -directly- contacting this company:

Leading manufacturer of Liquid Crystal Display, Touch Screens, TFT Displays, OLED diplays and more

They mention on their character LCD the ability to do "multilingual instrumentation" - so maybe they could help you out, or point you to a distributor...?

hi again
u can use Visual C++ to make a program that draw arabic letters and send them to GLCD

How do you plan to do it?

How many characters do you expect to generate and how many pixels each?

I guess no less than the 28 basic ones plus...?

Aren't you using a table in ROM or RAM to pick the data from there?

If you send the characters to the GLCD, a PC will be in charge? Vía USB, serial RS232, or...?

Something to consider if using a GLCD - the following project:

Theiling Online: Liquid Font Family

Its essentially a set of bitmap fonts for low-resolution displays that remain highly readable despite the low resolution; I can't read Arabic, but there is an example of it shown on the page...
