Hi,

I'm looking for a cheap supplier of 2x16 LCD,
with fashionably blue backlight and reasonable
lead times.

A guy running a LCD fab used to post here,
but I can't remember his nick name. Anyone
remembers? Something starting with lin

Hi,

I'm looking for a cheap supplier of 2x16 LCD,
with fashionably blue backlight and reasonable
lead times.

I've been evaluating a 1x8 from Electronic Assembly
<http://www.lcd-module.com/products/dog.html> that has some 2x16
siblings. Off-the-shelf and reasonably priced. PCB-mount flat glass (no
metal frame) with separate LED modules -- go without, or pick a color,
or go with an RGB backlight. Runs from 3.3 or 5 V. Parallel (4/8) or
serial (SPI) interfaces. Can adjust contrast over the wire. 44780-style
command set with extensions. Looks pretty good so far. Mouser carries
them.

The NewHaven ones are nice.

Just found those today. They sell direct, nice practice.
The colours on the photos seem a bit wild, probably
not realistic.

Pricey.
But convenient for some stuff due to size and pins.

It would be cheap if you are talking about Ku, Since we are working
with the factory directly, they don't sell small qty. Distributors
stock and sell small qty, so you have to pay their expenses.

Does 1/2 Ku qualify? :)
How about 1 Ku.
That would be me..

Indeed, hi there.

We use maybe 1000 units a year and buy them
200 at a time. I was thinking about going blue
and maybe increasing qty to compensate for
price increase.

So far I have a price of about 3US$ from HK source
that may be unreliable, 5$ for seiko and NewHeaven
for roughly 6.9 $

Seems blue is still more expensive than y/g.

We use a 2x20, blue backlit, and it's really nice. Part number
NHD-0220AU-FSW-FTS, $9.36 in small quantity.

Thanks for the unit ID, I bet they look a lot better in reality
than they do on those photos.

Cheers,
Mark

1Ku means buying 1000 units at once.

Yes, I know.
Blue backlit LEDs are slightly more expensive, but not much more.

I need something like this:
http://www.newhavendisplay.com/specs/NHD-0216K1Z-FSB-GBW-L.pdf
I'd prefer pin 15 and 16 reversed, but only if there is no extra cost. Its not
a big requirement. Its standard size so no re-tooling cost or NRE?

How does one get in touch with you guys? I see no website, just a login page
up there.

Can you produce custom graphics LCDs also? We currently have a product which
uses a now obsolete 128x64 white on blue graphics display. We use a custome
designed keypad and housing which can't change, but we can redeisgn the
board to accept different pinouts/interface etc. Ideally we'd like to use
SPI.
If you can handle this, please email me with your contact details and we can
take this further.
Many thanks.
