3.3v LCDs, parallel and serial

After reviewing one of my project ideas a few weeks ago, I was thinking how much better the project would be if there were 3.3 volt LCDs available. Funny thing, they actually are..... Anyhow, I would like to suggest to Parallax that they also carry 3.3v LCDs so that LCDs can be used directly with the Quickstart board without having to add on a 7805 or other 5 volt source.

    I have used some serial displays from New Haven just for that same reason. They have some nice OLED versions that I like better than the lcd versions.

    Andy and Don -

    Fantastic input, and I concur. If you guys identify a source that you prefer please share. I'll take a look at New Haven.

    Here's their page of displays. I have used the 4x20 versions. They are a little pricey but they are very sharp looking especially in daylight.
