Hi there,

    I just managed to get my hands on some LCDs. The LCDs are from:
www.bgmicro.com

The information on the LCD are here:
http://www.bgmicro.com/prodinfo.asp?sid=981018518518519E-02202157192162&prodid=LCD1022&page=1&cri=LCD&stype=2

The datasheet is on the left link.
The name of the pdf is "2x16el.pdf"


Actually I have 2 questions.

1) How easy is it to interface with it. Data bus is 4 -bit. Is it much harder to talk to the LCD?
2) Do I really need an EL inverter to make it function. I don't really need the backlight function.
    Is there any good tutorial on EL inverter if I need it some day?

Sorry about these trivial questions. This is the first time I am interfacing with the LCD.

Appreciate your help,
John
