HELP!! Toshiba TLC 1101-101 LCD

Hello everyone. I have recently raided an old fax machine and am wanting to use its LCD. I am trying to get info on the lcd so that I can connect it to my basic stamp BS2px-24. I will tell you everything I·have·found out about the lcd.

On the front it has a sticker reading Toshiba TLC 1101-101 [url=mailto:G@K]G2K[/url] made in japan.

On the back of the board printed in white is
GEB-2294V-O S
ZQ8110-161
TLC 1101


Apparently the chip next to the main plug is the LCD driver. it is a T6963C 0101·and I found a pdf here http://www.lcdinfo.com/lcd/datasheets/e007211.pdf

And the RAM (I know its ram because "RAM1" is printed on the board [noparse]:)[/noparse] Alittle info here ·http://www.controlchips.com/displays.htm)·has·written on·it,
TOSHIBA TC5565AFL-12L
Japan 8914HCK

The two chips in the center (XD1 and XD2 printed on board)·are
TOSHIBA
T778A

And the chip on the left(YD1 on board) ·is a T6961B

Here are pictures I took of the board. I can email higher resolution photos if you need.http://tntech.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2008065&l=ce437&id=52701181

The plug has 20 pins

I have no idea how to wire this thing up. Please help.

Thanks,
Brian

    I realized that the plug that goes into this LCD only·uses 16 wires.· It is labeled with the top row being pins A1-A10 and the bottom row B1-B10. With one being the right most pins and 10 the left. Pin A1, A5, A10, and B10·are the empty pins. I am currently tracing the leads of the T6963c back to the plug using a microscope. Could someone take a look at the T6963 pdf linked in my previous post and help me out with the setup.

    Am I just wasting my time or could this thing be used with a basic stamp?

    Thanks

    This might be almost impossible for you.

    For one reason, that board has multiple chips of the same type. They all drive the lcd in sequence, but if you don't have the pinout of the connector, and you don't have a schematic, your looking at a challenge.

    Basically your going to have to end up tracing all the connections to each chip to figure out exactly how each is connected.

    Usually time = money, and there are many lcd's out there that are cheap and come with documentation.

    But if your up for the challenge, go for it, its not totally impoissible... Just don't give up!
