I am looking for an LED alpha numeric display, 5-6 digit, that is relately
low in cost. Microprocessor interface is a must. What would be ideal
is a display set up for multiplexing (pins for each segment, with 5-6 pins,
for selecting the which digit to activate). This would allow an easy interface
to a microprocess. Another alternative could be a display interfaced with
a decoder/driver IC, but cost is a concern. I would like it to run less
than $10 or so. If an alphanumeric type is too expensive, a 7 segment
display would be fine as long as I can form my own psuedo letters by
activating selected segments, such as to make the letters b,f,E and -
I would appreciate any advice or leads. Digi-key , Jameco and JDR seem
to have limited selections. Thanks
