Re: Where to find LCM / system design info?

Hello Spehro,

Understood. I can tell you that the modules with controllers tend to
be relatively expensive (more like tens of dollars rather than
dollars) in moderate and low volume, mostly because they are not
really used in high volume consumer products. If you really have high
volume, the problem becomes more difficult because there are more
options. You can easily find monochrome LCD displays that cost more
than a complete Gameboy Advance.

IOW you can't really use an ordinary micro controller with a cheap graphics LCD? I mean a low pixel version like the OP suggested.

The driver in firmware is no easy feat but the number of available pins on a micro seems to be the limiting factor w/o an LCD controller if I understood you correctly.

Regards, Joerg
