Optrex Corporation makes a nice line of small LCD displays. They go from 16 to 40 characters and from 1 to 4 lines. The DMC 20434 is 20 characters by 4 lines. I don't know much about prices, but I recently purchased as 20 by 2 display for a single quantity price of $25.00. These have all the driver electronics included and work through a simple 4 or 8 bit parallel interface. They require only a 5 volt power supply and are very easy to use. -- Peter Fales UUCP: ...ihnp4!ihlpe!psfales work: (312) 979-7784 AT&T Information Systems, IW 1Z-243 1100 E.
