The Great Search: LCD Segmented Display Driver with I2C Interface
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
This week's search is going to be for an LCD driver chip. We've never actually worked with raw LCD elements, but if you do need to use one, you'll quickly note that they're a bit odd to work with and require an 'AC'-like waveform and constant refreshing. They're also very susceptible to ghosting. So let's identify a chip - ideally SPI or I2C - that will do all that drive control for us!
