Hi,
i want to replace the 40x2 character display of a 1986 akai s900.
Since I had an OLED variant from vishay lying around i hooked it up but it does not work correctly.
The first line is displayed correctly, but the second half of the second line is blank.
You could say it's only showing 75%.
The original display is a Optrex DMC40218UE.
The oled one i have is this:
OLED-040N002A-LPP5N00000
https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/427/oled040n002alpp5n00000-1153452.pdfI know the generic 40x2 lcds you get for ~10$ work out of the box on the S900.
So what could be the reason the oled does not display all characters?
Theres a few jumpers on the back of the display. I was thinking about testing the J68_J80 jumper which is currently set to 6800 mode and changing it to 8000 mode. But then i took a look at the service manual and the original lcd has pin 5 labelled as R/W, so that would indicate it is using 6800 mode as well, right?
Maybe someone experienced with these displays can give me some tips.
I really love the look of the oled display and would like to put it to good use.
thanks
cheers
