LCD Display

I am designing an alarm clock using a BS2.

What is the best choice for an LCD display suitable for an alarm clock function.

Sincerely,

Depends on how many characters you want to use.
My personal favorite display for small projects is the Parallax 2x16 Serial with backlight: https://www.parallax.com/product/27977
Easy to hook-up and use, cause to the serial interface. Also like the 4x20 Serial display when I need some more characters.

Are there LCD displays that interface directly with the BS2 micro controllers?

Seven large characters is all that is required.

All the Parallax Serial LCD's interface with the BS2, 27977, 27976, and 27979.

If you just want 7 (largish) characters, you might be better off with LED. Take a look at this, for example. It connects easily to BS-2.
