Assuming that you want to buy them in small quantities, I've found that they
are readily available in office supply stores.  And you get a bunch of other
free stuff with them as well.  :-)

Seriously, though, I've never seen these displays as surplus, which I suspect
is because most non-calculator products that use dot-matrix LCDs need larger
ones.

I'd like to find a good (inexpensive) source for displays similar to the
6.1" 640x480 active matrix color LCD in the Toshiba Libretto.  I think it
is made by Sharp, but it apparently is not a standard product.

I got lucky, my Japanese Libretto 50CT has absolutely no bad pixels (either
stuck on or stuck off).  I use it as my portable PIC development system, along
with a PICSTART Plus, Clearview Mathias, Xeltek SuperPro III/L, and HP
LogicDart.  It all fits in my briefcase!

I can't wait to add an SX/Key to my development system.  If Parallax manages
to get it to me in time, it will be my best Christmas present.  (I need to
get a life.)

Cheers,
Eric
