    It looks like you follow this schematic, the only difference being that on pin 19 on your LCD, you wire it straight to GND and connect nothing to pin 20.

    It is good practice to do some research before you buy an LCD....
    Anyway it looks like the contrast is too high, so either that's wired wrong or turned up too high on the pot.
    Second, you have to tell us how you are controlling it, ie which software are you using?
    If you only power it up, nothing will show on the LCD.
