2x8 LCD with backlight?

[FantomXR]

Hey,

 

I'm wondering, if there is a 2x8 display with backlight integrated.

I'm thinking about having a lcd under each encoder. So, 2x8 would be a nice size for that.

 

Otherweise I need to buy bigger displays and combine several controllers on the display.

 

Thanks,
Chris

They are available.  Sparkfun has them but they are a little expensive.

A friend of mine found some for under $3usd.  Check around on the web and you should find them.

Maybe your not finding them because you are googling 2x8.  Try 8x2 LCD display.
