Hello... I came across some surplus 16 char by 1 line, LCD displays made by Samsung. I've had no luck finding a datasheet. Hopefully, someone may have an old data book and help me out. The Part # appears to be SMC-1610A and uses the SED1278F controller IC. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jim
If they have 14 pins, they are almost certainly the same as those hitachi 44780 display controllers.
Here is a data sheet for the controller chip:
Easiest thing is to use a multimeter to test resistance between the pins and the edge connectors.

You could probably determine the connector pinout by tracing the controller IC's data and control pins (D0-7, E, R/W, RS):
You may find that your display is similar to LCD modules based on Hitachi's HD44780 controller. If so, then pins 2-14 will probably be for data and control, pin 3 will be for contrast adjustment, and pins
1 & 2 will be the supply pins.- Franc Zabkar
