LCD Interfacing with 8051 Microcontroller(AT89C51)
LCD display is an inevitable part in almost all embedded projects and this article is about interfacing 162 LCD with 8051 microcontroller.
LCD pin descriptions:
The LCD discussed in this section has 14 pins. The function of each pin is given in table. Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Vcc, Vss, and VEE
While Vcc and Vss provide +5V and ground, respectively, VEE is used for controlling LCD contrast. RS - register select: There are two very important registers inside the LCD. The RS pin is used for their selection as follows. If RS = 0, the instruction command code register is selected, allowing the user to send a command such as clear display, cursor at home, etc. If RS = 1 the data register is selected, allowing the user to send data to be displayed on the LCD.
R/W - read/write: R/W input allows the user to write information to the LCD or read information from it. R/W = 1 when reading; R/W =0 when writing. E - enable: The enable pin is used by the LCD to latch information presented to its data pins. When data is supplied to data pins, a high to low pulse must be applied to this pin in order for the LCD to latch in the data present at the data pins. This pulse must be a minimum of 450 ns wide. D0 D7: The 8 bit data pins, D0 D7, are used to send information to the LCD or read the contents of the LCDs internal registers. To display letters and numbers, we send ASCII codes for the letters A Z, a z, and numbers 0 9 to these pins while making RS = 1.

There are also instructions command codes that can be sent to the LCD to clear the display or force the cursor to the particular position
