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.

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.

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.

Does 1/2 Ku qualify? :)
How about 1 Ku.

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.

Pricey.

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

Might be OK, depends on the requirements.

1Ku means buying 1000 units at once.

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

We can make them for around $2 to $3, with $1000 NRE.

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.

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.

Yes, we can. We can build custom LCD and OLED with Chips On Glass or
Board (FR-4 or FPC). We have parallel and serial (spi, usb and custom)
controller chips available.
At the risk of getting spam flooding. My emails are:

So I understand,
Are all your displays considered custom or do you have standard displays
as well.
So a 4x20 display would require a design spec ?
( I do understand that an order of (X)Ku is required )

We can argue for days what are standard displays. For example, the
customer orders and builds enough to sell extra in the open market.
It would be a standard item provided by the customer. However, the
factory is not suppose to sell them to another customer. Some other
factories do so, but we don't.

Yes, we keeps customer specs separately.
