Our 20x4 range currently covers 1 part numbers at 20 characters x 4 lines (2.89 inch panel), driven by US2066 over SPI and I2C, in monochrome. It is the highest line count in the character range: four lines of twenty characters.
Part numbers in this group
Mechanical details
Outline and active area dimensions differ slightly between part numbers, so check the drawing on each product page before finalising the bezel cut-out. Panel thickness stays around 1.2 to 1.4 mm on the monochrome builds, which lets the module sit almost flush behind a cover window.
Interface and driver
These modules run on the US2066, and the interface options are SPI and I2C. On the I2C builds only four pins are needed (VCC, GND, SCL, SDA), which is why this group is common in Arduino, ESP32 and STM32 projects as well as in production hardware. The parallel and SPI builds suit hosts that need a faster refresh for animation or waveform drawing.
Where this size fits
Typical uses are industrial controllers, laboratory instruments, network equipment and multi line status panels. See also the 20x2 character page if space is tighter.
What resolution does the 20x4 group come in?
The standard build is 20 characters x 4 lines (2.89 inch panel). Portrait and alternative formats are listed in the table above.
Can I run these from an Arduino or ESP32?
Yes. Choose an I2C part number and the wiring is four pins; libraries for the SSD1306, SH1106, SH1107 and SSD1322 families are widely available. SPI builds give a faster refresh but need two more pins.
Is a wide temperature version available?
Selected part numbers in this group are built for -40 °C to +80 °C operation. Tell us the ambient range your product has to survive and we will confirm which builds are qualified for it.
What can be customised?
On this size we regularly adjust the FPC length and pinout, the connector type, the cover glass and the adapter PCB. Changes to the glass itself need tooling, so they only make sense at volume - we will say so honestly rather than quote an unrealistic MOQ.
Custom builds and samples
As a China based display company and module supplier, we hold stock of the standard part numbers on this page and ship samples in one to two weeks. Send your size, resolution, interface and temperature requirements and we will confirm feasibility with a drawing within one working day.
