hatpin LCD

Looking for a tiny LCD I could pin or VelCro under the brim of my (floppy old)
sailing hat. It is to be a readout
for the telemetering speedometer I am working on for my R/C sailboat.

Digital thermometers, for example, have a tiny LCD, but rather than cut one out
of an existing product I would
prefer to find a supplier with a detailed datasheet and a controller to go with
the midget LCD.

Many thanks for your insights.
Michael

    something like this too.

    In the midst of my too-many projects, near the top of the list, and actually
    being worked- is one that may interest you...

    I have small cell-phone LCD's w/ COG drivers that accept synchronous serial
    comms. I am still working out some of the details for using them with
    Stamps, such as the 3V rating, and I expect to have a working module in a
    week or two. I started with these because I couldn't find anything similar
    to what you describe for use on a project for a wearable device. As a
    complete module, these will likely be about 1/4 in. thick and perhaps just a
    bit larger than 1" X 2" with 90 X 40 graphical.
    Might something like this be of use to you?
    Might there be any interest in these by others here?

    Chris
