luma.lcd provides a Python 3 interface to small LCD displays connected to Raspberry Pi and other Linux-based single-board computers (SBC). It provides a Pillow-compatible drawing canvas, and other functionality to support:

• scrolling/panning capability,
• terminal-style printing,
• state management,
• color/greyscale (where supported),
• dithering to monochrome

It currently supports devices using the HD44780, PCD8544, ST7735, HT1621, and UC1701X controllers.

All modules can be picked up on ebay with a breakout board for a few pounds.
