inexpensive low power serial mini lcd

henry99

I'm looking for a very low power mini lcd. 3.3V inputs or less.

I can handle 1 line of text though two would be nice. The smaller the font the better as I want to make something very portable and run off a single AA.

For inexpensive lcds, I found this company this guy on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Serial-RS232-Adapter-and-VARITRONIX-LCD-2x16_W0QQitemZ230266171540QQihZ013QQcategoryZ26206QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
that sells it for about $11 shipped. That seems like a good price but I don't think it'll do 3.3V input.

Any suggestions?

You could buy a cheap parallel LCD and then use a serial backpack. I think there's one that works on 3.3v.

Look at last page where

Examples are

The like talk about to make it work at 3 volts

The HD44780 being used by the LCD module before modifying. It is a "U" version that an operation is possible by 3V of supply

Great source! Looks like they have all kinds of cool displays ( RGB backlighting sounds fun to play with)

Now if there was only a source for mounting LCDs and enclosures with windows...

Not quite an enclosure but I found this...
