Hi Vance
I’ve had some success working with similar boards before and they are usually fairly standard, based on a Hitachi driver from the 80’s.
If you’ve not already seen it, here’s a guide to interfacing:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LibraryExamples/HelloWorld
I can’t answer the constant current question but across various examples of these displays, I’ve ‘just’ fed the backlight 5V from available PSU – normally 5v 1-2A or straight from an Arduino – and been ‘OK’. Is there a measurable resistance to the array, even if there is no visible resistor component?
Cheers,
Alex Gibson
