Does C-1602A-1YN LCD use the HD44780 controller

buyingcompliancehd44780lcd

I am new to using PIC microcontrollers and electronics in general. I have been reading a tutorial on how to interface a PIC with a HD44780 compliant LCD. As I have been shopping for a LCD I have been finding it difficult to tell whether a LCD uses the HD44780 interface after reading its datasheet. The specific device in question is the C-1602A-1YN from Tinsharp. Please let me know whether this uses the interface, and where in the datasheet this information can be found.

The LCD uses (it's in the second page)

Controller/driver: KS0066UP00CC/KS0065B

KS0066 is Samsung equivalent of Hitachi HD44780.
