I am trying to make 'cheap' products - I would be interested in ANYthing on
 cheap LCDs...
 I am tempted to buy the cheap clocks ($4) & use the LCDs (7 segment) out of
 them...

Dot matrix LCDs are of particular interest...  but can we get enough phones to
 make
100-1000-10k units?

BTW, in my understanding of LCDs - there is no such thing as Ground & Power
 leads but
only segements and backplane(s)...
