Q. Can this product be fitted onto a Breadboard?
A. Hi Ablai. Thank you for your question. The contact hole pitch for this is 2.54mm so in theory yes it can - but you would require suitable headers to add to the display to make contact.

24 May 2012 Question by: Rapid Customer
Q. Are any of the backlit modules still clearly readable with the backlight turned off? Is 57-2226 (transflective, backlit), for example, still as readable as the non-backlit, reflective 57-2224 when the backlight is turned off? I'm interested in a display that can be used just as well with or without a backlight. Are any of these suitable?
A. Hi Andy, thanks for your question. Yes 57-2226 would be suitable. This is readable in light, the backlight is only needed when ambient light is low.
