Hi All, I'm working on a highly cost sensitive product that will see moderate production volume. I know these two don't exactly go together, but...
I and my company have worked with smart charcter displays before, the typical 4 or 8 bit bus with Hitachi-compatible controllers. The cost of these displays has dominated the cost of alot of our products, I'm looking at using dumb displays instead.
For simplicity, I have been looking for 14 segement LCD displays and found a few but distributors don't seem to carry these. I am looking for a unit like this, with solderable pins:
Has anyone found a distributor for these things? I'm looking for samples and eventually production quanities. I would also consider dumb dot-matrix displays if it is possible to drive them with less than 40 i/o pins. Thanks in advance.
