  • As others should state, please check the contrast. Some (at least most of them) use -VEE supply for the contrast. The typical voltage of the contrast ranges from 0V to -9V. At 0V the display is all white and nothing can be read; and @ -9V the display is all black and again nothing can be read. The values in between provide a change in the contrast. You can connect a linear pot (say 10K) between the -VEE of the LCD and -9V of the supply. Adjust the contrast.
