Overview of Nokia5110 Display

•  Nokia5110 is a graphical display that can display text, images, and various patterns.
• It has a resolution of 48x84 and comes with a backlight.
• It uses SPI communication to communicate with a microcontroller.
• Data and commands can be sent through the microcontroller to the display to control the display output.
• It has 8 pins.

Nokia5110 Code for ARM MBED (LPC1768)

// Project: Nokia5110 - Controlling a NK5110 display from an NXP LPC1768
// File: main.cpp
// Author: Chris Yan
// Created: January, 2012
// Revised:
//  Desc: A basic LCD output test which uses the NXP LPC1768's SPI interface to
//      display pixels, characters, and numbers on the Nokia 5110 LCD.
//      Created using a sparkfun breakout board with integrated Phillips 8544 driver
//      for 48x84 LCDs.
