This kind of LCD requires an adapter board. The small board generates the required bias voltages, integrates a white led driver and provides a standard 2.54 connector interface. It has to be noted that only a 3.3V supply is required.

Note that the pin 1 of the connectors are although written in the top layer copper.

Once done verify the connections by means of your multimeter. Do not forget to check the 3.3V supply polarity on the LCD_adapt board before to power up the system !
