Nokia 5110 LCD Display Module for Arduino — 84×48 Blue Backlight

The Nokia 5110 module mounts the classic 84×48 pixel monochrome LCD from the Nokia 5110 phone on a breakout PCB with a PCD8544 SPI controller. At 3.3V logic with SPI speeds up to 4MHz, it connects directly to an ESP8266 or ESP32 without level shifting; for 5V Arduino Uno, 10k resistors on each SPI line protect the controller. The blue backlight gives white text on blue for high legibility in low light.

  • 84×48 pixel monochrome LCD — PCD8544 controller
  • 5-wire SPI interface — CLK, DIN, DC, CE, RST
  • 3.3V logic — resistors needed for 5V Arduino
  • Blue backlight — controllable via BL pin (PWM dimmable)
  • Adafruit PCD8544 library compatible

Hannah O. ★★★★★

The blue backlight is way brighter than the old green screens I've used, and the 84x48 resolution is perfect for the little sensor readout I built. Text is crisp and it powered right up on 3.3V.

Scarlett ★★★★☆

I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to solder the included header pins — the PCB pads are nicely labeled. The 84×48 resolution is crisp enough for basic text and icons, though the contrast could be slightly better out of the box. Perfect for learning SPI communication without breaking the ban

Zoe ★★★★☆

Wiring this up to my Uno over SPI took about ten minutes and the blue backlight is bright enough to read in a dim room. Only gripe is the contrast pot is tiny, so tweaking it with a normal screwdriver is fiddly.
