I'm looking at the spec sheet:

http://www.optrex.com/SiteImages/PartLi ... 773age.pdf

I can't figure out what is needed to wire this thing up. There are no mentions that I can find at any LCD wiring sites to help, either.

The first question is that it says Vdd should be 5.0V, but Vee should be around 18.5 ... though I keep seeing mention that it should be a negative voltage (and it is listed as Vdd-Vee on the spec sheet).

Second, I haven't run across another LCD with this pinset:

1 [FGND] Frame Ground
2 [GND] Ground (what is the difference here???)
3 [Vdd] Logic PSU
4 [Vee] Drive PSU
5 [WR] Write Signal L:Active
6 [RD] Read Signal L:Active
7 [CE] Chip Enable Signal L:Active
8 [C/D] Write Mode H:Command Write L:Data Write Read Mode H:Status Read L:Data Read
9 [NC]
10 [RESET] L:Reset
11 D0
12 D1
13 D2
14 D3
15 D4
16 D5
17 D6
18 D7
19 [FS] Font Switch H:6x8d L:8x8d
20 [RV] Display Data Reverse Signal H:Reverse L:Normal (I can't find anything similar anywhere else for this)

I'm assuming I will need both 5V supply and some other type of supply. I have a 5V inverter coming for the CC, and I can get 5V from molex for the Vdd, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do for Vee.

Please, can somebody help me? I just want to know how to get this up and working ....

Hello

You're right with -18.5 V for Vee ...
The pinnassignment is like other LCM ...
You should look at:
http://www.lcdhype.de.vu
for wiring and using on LPT:
they have usefull help with their program "LCDhype".
Look there for T6963C - controller wiring ...
hope it was a little help for you ...
but if you don't like this device I'll take it ... ))

good luck

It means that if you have Vdd of 5V like you should then you need Vee of -13.5V to get Vdd-Vee of 18.5V.
I'd recommend -15v for the negative voltage(Vee) so you would have some room for adjusting the contrast with trimmer as needed.
+5v(Vdd), -15v(Vee) = 20v(Vdd-Vee).



Frame ground is connected to the metal frame of the display module. GND is the normal power ground. These can be connected together.


If you connect this to +5v you can reverse your display image. When grounded you have normal image.

For Vee you need to make some circuit or buy one.
Here are some examples:
