Conversion parallel LCD monitor to serial protocol

Vladimir059

Hello everybody. I have Hitachi 44780 parallel LCD monitor. As I have shortage of pins, can I convert parallel to serial asynchronous protocol (RS232 TTL)? What kind of chip should I use?· Can I use the same Basic stamp II commands as for a standard serial LCD monitor?
Thank you in advance
Vladimir·
