Hi group, Based on the high price comments here I have lowered the price of the 12x2 LCD displays to $7.00 each plus shipping. Buy 4 or more and the price is $6.50 each. If you buy a serial driver chip (see my web site) I'll include a display for $5.00. Here is a summary of the displays I'm selling: 1. Are new and individually packaged. 2. Have a green/yellow adjustable LCD back light. 3. Very clear, sharp, wide angle, bright, and adjustable high-contrast display. 4. Have an attached cable and 2 row female plug with 0.1" spacing. You can also remove the cable and easily solder direct to the display board. 5. Nice and compact and they have mounting holes. 5. Are not surplus or new old stock. Some other details: 1. Shipping is cheap. 2. Any payment method except credit card is fine (I can take PayPal if you really want to pay that way, but I'd like to avoid it since I don't like or trust them.) 3. I'm happy to ship outside the USA if we can work out a shipping and payment arrangement. 4. If you are a high school or college student send me an email and we can work out a bigger discount if you would like some displays for a class project or for experimentation. If you are interested or would like more information - including pictures, specs, data sheets and sample PIC code - see my web site at http://pic.rocklizard.org I also have a nice PIC based serial driver chip that I designed for these and other Hitachi based displays. If you are new to PICs and/or driving LCD displays or if you need a fast and easy serial solution then you might find these interesting. Information on the serial driver chip can be found at my web site. Please contact me off-list for questions, orders or other comments. My email address is on my web site or you can email me by sending mail to "chris" at my domain name (@rocklizard.org) If someone could point me to one of these cheaper sources I'd appreciate it. I have not found any NEW or non-surplus displays on the web for the price I'm paying (or asking). I do have a regular need for small LCD's so I'm always looking for good sources and pricing. I'd appreciate any pointers. Finally, I would be willing to trade some of these for new 16x2, 16x4 or larger displays or other electronic/PIC related stuff. Send me an email if you are interested in trading. Thanks for the comments.
