take the datasheet of any 44780 based lcd and connect it like that.
on all lcd's i've seen, pinout 1-14 is the same (15 and 16 are sometimes
used for backlight)
for a first try, connect pin3 (Vo) to gnd. if nothing appears on the
display, connect it to -1.5v.
you could also search google with the number 20265.
the 4 pins on the opposite side could be backlight or, if the display has
more than 80 characters, additional select lines.

        Thema:  [OT]:How to obtain spec for a LCD module?


Hi all,

I have with me an LCD module and there's no way for me to determine it's
manufacturer and obtain the spec. What should I do? I have not really
handle
any LCD module b4 as such any ideas will be greatly appreciated. The
physical attributes are ---  2 times 3.4 inch
-.  16 pinout on one side and 4 on the other side
-.  There is a Made in Hong Kong sign and three Hitachi chips at the back
HD44100FS x 2 and  HD44780A00.
-.  There is a VL sign printed on the PCB
-.  And finally ( but i cannot confirm ) the outside package has this
number
MDL20265-LV-RC

Any ideas..?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Rgds,
pang
