This tutorial demonstrates how to hook up a 128×64 graphics LCD display to a Raspberry Pi.
I have another tutorial if you are interested in 16×2 LCD Displays with the Pi. Unlike the 16×2 which is primarily simple text, the graphics LCD makes it easy to draw graphics, different size text in any font and even play games or show animations. This is the Adafruit ST7565 graphics negative LCD display:
It can be powered directly from the Pi’s 3.3V rail. It requires 5 GPIO pins for data. The display has a negative RGB back light which allows you change the foreground color. An additional 3 GPIO pins are required if you want to control the color from the Pi.
Graphic ST7565 Negative LCD (128×64) with RGB backlight + extras – ST7565: This graphical display looks fantastic, at a great price! This display will add the ultimate cool to your project, with a black negative display that has a full RGB LED backlight. You can control with PWM to make any color you can imagine, and it will look stunning with the black inverted (negative) background. Read more.
