This DS18B20 example we output the temperature to our LCD display. The LCD display we use is the LCD Keypad Shield that is available for sale from various sources.

Here is the temperature displayed on the LCD, as you can see its a shield that can be fitted to your Arduino Uno. Links at the bottom of the article

delay(1000);
//start reading
sensors.begin();
//setup the LCD
lcd.begin(16, 2); // start the library
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print(“TEMPERATURE”);
}

void loop()
{
//read temperature and output via LCD
sensors.requestTemperatures();
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
lcd.setCursor(6,1);
