Yes, I know what copper wires are for.. Let me rephrase my question in the
form of my own answer to this..

Basically my microcontroller will use it's I/O ports to send electrical
signals to the lcd/flash (on/off signals I'm assuming? + some V or 0)

Take a LCD with 4 pins (not counting voltage pins, ground, etc)

basically I use 4 I/O's on my microcontroller and connect these together.
How I signal these pins determines what the LCD displays, and how they
signal is based on the hardwired code in the microcontroller...

If this is correct then I think I'm starting to get at least the idea,
enough to start purchasing the stuff I need

And for the record, I know this is going to be a big challenge but I have a
really good idea for a product that I want to start a company with. This
project will basically be a working prototype to show to investors. If I can
get some funding from some VCs or gov agencies, then I'll hire a specialist
who knows better than I, who'll refine the concept.

I don't care how long it takes me. My time frame is 1 year.
