STOP WATCH NEEDS A LARGER LCD "HOW TO"

I have a stop watch that has a LCD screen witch I would like to increase the size for easier viewing. The stop watch uses a LR44

1=2E5vdc button battery. On the board that makes contact with the LCD are a number of contacts/pads. Along the bottom are 15 contact points and along the top are 12. The 12 are spaced the same as the bottom but obviously have missing pads. Looking at the board, from left to right, there are 6 contacts a space (missing contact point) 1, space, 2, space 3. I don't much about the LCDs , so I don't even know if this info is helpful in determining the use of a lager one.

I bought and buildt a working display through Furturlec awhile back and am not sure if it would work with this application. The specs are as follows:

3=2E5 Digit LCD Display Module This simple to build and operate 3.5 Digit LCD Module, is ideal as a display for many parameters, including voltage, current, temperature, pressure etc. It accepts a single-ended input, so is ideal to fit into a larger system requiring a display function. Input voltage extends down to -2.0V and up to +2.0V, for a display of -1999 and +1999 respectively. Decimal points and "LO BAT" indication can be easily turned on through a +5V supplied to the digital inputs for these points. The module operates from a single +5V supply and no negative supply is required. A backlight can also be fitted and installed as required. (Please Note: The backlight is not included in the standard kit, but can be purchased separately). Detailed instructions are included. Features =B7 Operates from a Single +5V Supply =B7 Suitable for Single-Ended Input =B7 Input Range: -2.0V - +2.0V

There are 40 pin on the display that go into the board 10 on top and

10 on bottom. I'm still looking for the directions that they sent me. Would this work? If so, how would I need to hook it up. (I'm very familiar with reading schematics). If not, is there anything else out there that would or is this way to much work or impossible to do? Any information would surely be appreciated.

Thanks, DaveK
