where to find 40x2 PLED or OLED LCD?

[intellijel]

I am investing money into my sequencer project to make it very very functional for live use. One of the features I would like is OLED or PLED display as they have a really wide viewing angle.

I checked out crystalfontz but they only have 20x2 modules. Anyone know where else I could find them?

If not, what is the best 40x2 LCD screen I could use? (price is not an issue)

thanks!

PLEDs don't come in 40x2 (darn) , you might be interested in my currently incomplete project to drive 2x2x20 PLEDs as a 2x40...

Otherwise you want some kind of high-contrast LCD, or maybe a VFD.

As to that, anyone know where to get 40x2 VFDs?

[stryd_one]

the 'bay is the only place I've seen them with any regularity.

Can you get VFD that have compatible interfaces to the LCD modules (HItachi standard)? e.g. YOu can just swap out an LCD for a VFD?

If it's HD44780, yes!

Hi,

Tony at http://www.cresttech.com.au/ sells PLEDs. They are a great company, ship fast and really look after you. Not sure where you are from but if Tony cant ship to you {which im sure he will} get them shipped to me and I will post them to you, im in Australia where he is.

As stryd_one said they dont seem to come in 40x2 but at least its a start to have a supplier.

All the best,

John

I am in Canada so I will probably avoid orderign from Australia :P

You can get OLED/PLED displays in North America from www.crystalfontz.com.  But they do not have 40x2 modules and all of their LCD modules are very expensive (but apprently high quality too).

cheers,
