Thanks to Dennis Griesser for all the great info on liquid crystals.  I have
a somewhat more immediate/practical question on them.

I'm interested in homebrewing a portable terminal including a liquid
crystal display, suitable for 80x24 characters or whatever I can get.
Got any good sources for these and the driver chips required?
Manufacturers' or distributors' names, cities, and part numbers would
be great, along with whatever comments you have from actually using
such devices.  Like everybody else, I'm looking for low power, excellent
readability, and easy to drive screens :-).

All I need is quantity 1 -- if it ever works and becomes a product,
I'll be sure to let you all know.

I could always buy a laptop and disassemble it but that seems a waste
(of money and a laptop).
