jbdiver Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I just updated my midibox seq4 with a couple 40x2 character displays from EastRising. The company offers over a dozen different color combinations and the prices are cheap ~ $10 USD. I can confirm these work perfectly with the midibox platform. http://www.buy-display.com/ The shipping took about 10 days to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggle Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 They have nice products! Just ordered a bunch of 40x2's (black on white). I'll post back when I get them up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggle Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just received the displays, they're nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantomXR Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 And they have some nice oleds too. I'm expecting, that they are working with midibox? http://www.buy-display.com/default/oled-display-module.html There is no breakout board. So a bit of soldering is necessary, but they are nice and cheap... Are there any problems with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosuave Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks dude you just saved me $30 off my mouser order... Got the black on green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I found the quality of these to be mediocre at best, not even close to a newhaven or Kyocera. I tossed mine, not worth the $8 I saved and the 4 week delivery. Backlite was crazy inconsistent over the length of the part (you can kind of see the same thing in duggles pic) Edited November 11, 2013 by Altitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrabikus Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 This is yellow-green on black ones. If you want better view angles - buy black on yellow (or other non-inverted). Quality as Altitude said. Poor view angles and inconsistency of backlight for inverted LCD's, but price and color options are better than at ebay. Also 20x2 character OLED working with MBSID V2 in 8-bit mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
