16x2 Blue Character OLED ModulePart Number: CFAL1602C-BBeautiful Blue Character OLED, 4-Bit/8-Bit ParallelThe OLED technology of the blue-on-black CFAL1602C-B provides a striking, high contrast visual appearance that stays consistent from  -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). Since OLEDs are emissive, there is no backlight, resulting in a thinner package that is ideal when you need a reliable 16x2 character display and space is at a premium. The modern look of the CFAL1602C-B OLED display provides a very wide 160° viewing angle, keeping the same crisp view from nearly any direction.
This 16x2 character OLED is compatible with our 8x2 pin dual row header. With no backlight and no contrast controls, designing in the CFAL1602C-B reduces the number of control lines needed. 
The command set of the on-board  WS0010 controller is similar to the industry standard Hitachi HD44780 and compatibles, reducing your adoption time of the CFAL1602C-B into your project.  With four built in font tables, multi-language support is a breeze.

Looking to change the look of your existing product that uses our CFAH1602C? The CFAL1602C-B has the same physical footprint.
True black background with blue characters.
Extra wide range operating temperature:  -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F).
Thin package, no backlight.
High contrast OLED Character Display.
Parallel sample code, datasheet, and RoHS/REACH Certificate of Compliance are under the Datasheets & Files tab.
Sleek, modern visual appearance.
No visual change over entire operating temperature range.

Product Update #11116: Bezel Change

Products Affected:	CFAL0802A-Y, CFAL1602C-B, CFAL1602C-W, CFAL1602C-Y, CFAL1602C-YT, CFAL1602C-PW, CFAL1602C-PY, CFAL1602C-PYT
Date Issued:	February 21, 2022
Summary:	Bezel Change
Description:	The bezel around these OLED displays is being modified to remove the small gap adjacent to the PCB.
Reason:	This gap is used in the manufacturing of STN LCDs that share the same bezel and is not necessary for OLED displays.
Availability:	Contact Crystalfontz Support for up-to-date information by emailing support@crystalfontz.com.

Part Change Notice #11101: Reset Pin Change

Products Affected:	CFAL2004A-Y, CFAL2002A-Y, CFAL1602L0-Y, CFAL1202A-Y, CFAL5016A-Y, CFAL0802A-Y, CFAL1602C-B, CFAL1602C-W, CFAL1602C-Y
Date Issued:	August 17, 2021
Summary:	Reset Pin Change
Description:	RST and CST, the components in the RC filter for the reset pin, are being modified. RST will be 33kOhms and CST will be 1uF.
Reason:	Some reset circuits have shown not to be strong enough to drive the reset pin within the specified timing. If the reset circuit is not strong enough, the controller will not properly reset which causes abnormal behavior.

Product Update #11066: 16x2 Blue Character OLED Module back in production.

Date Issued:	January 22, 2019
Summary:	End-Of-Life Notification
Description:	The parts listed are being set to End of Life Status
Reason:	The manufacturing process for these colors is being revised. Replacement parts will not be available before Q4 2019.
Impact:	These parts will not be available once current stock is depleted. When replacement parts are available, new part numbers will be assigned.
Recommendation:	These parts should not be used for new designs.
Availability:	Current Stock
