More is better
Y series offers module with same PCB size as 20x2 but has 24 characters by 4 lines or 7 mm character height and 24 characters by 6 lines in 20x4 display size.
Multiple Interfaces
Choose from CMOS logic 8-bit parallel and CMOS logic async / sync serial interfaces/ RS232C level Interface
International Font Tables
Y-Series comes standard with built in international font tables. Font tables include English, UK English, French, German, Danish, Swedish, Italian, Spanish (de facto), Spanish (Castilian), Japanese, Norwegian, Latin America, and Korean.
Descender
Descender is part of a lowercase letter such as g, j, p, and q that extends below the other lowercase letters. Compared to standard ASCII characters, descender gives lowercase fonts the natural feel of the font tables found in word processor program.
