is there any way to identify an LCD pins (3x16), which i dont have a datasheet
 

If you cannot find enough identifying marks/numbers/names on it to identify it then you need to identify the chips on the board and trace out the circuit from the drive chips to the external connections.

ok,
so it seems not easy, The chip is COB, so not easy to identify
 

As tpetar said, some good photos might help. When you say "(3x16)" - what exactly are you referring to? Numbers of pins? Display size (do you mean 2x16)?

Many small LCD displays are HD44780 compatible, often with the semi-standard pinout too.

Let's see some photos.
 

its a 3x16

16pin

It's a Wintek 16x3.

Attached is the datasheet for the Wintek 16x2, both use the ST7066 display driver chipset which are HD44780 compatible.

They also share the same pinout, the unit may or may not have a backlight on CN2, refer to the datasheet.
