I know you mentioned you don't want to rip it off another device, but since
you're looking at small runs, you may be able to use a "playstation one"
(psone gaming screen) LCD easily found on ebay. They cost around $30 and
most of them are brand new. I bought one for my robot and I'm happy with it.
It accepts video input, but with some modification it also accepts VGA
input.
Cheers

cheapest ones use COG (chip on glass) but tend to be small (e.g. digikey had
one ~4" diagonal at 320x240 for about $35US). Think PDA. Good luck getting a
5.7" under $50 in quantity 5. We buy a lot more than 5 at a time and pay
more than $50 :-(

I am looking for 5 passive monochrome grapchics LCDs, with following specs:
5.7" diagonal
320x240
Operating temp 0C to 50C
Viewing Angle 12 o'clock (or 6 o'clock)
NO integrated controller
Integrated backlight (CCFL or LED)
Price is my primary concern. But I'd like to avoid obsolete LCDs, or ripped
of some used devices, as the product might have a small volume (10 -50)
production over next 2-3 years.
Digi-Key, Mouser have a good selection, but the prices are anywhere from $80
to $100, and that's more than I'm willing to pay. My cost target is around
$50 for single quantities.
Cheapest I found so far is Optrex DMF-50840NF-FW-ABE-AU from
www.Apollodisplays.com for $64.
I anybody know any good source for low cost LCDs, I would appreaciate a
link. It can be US or Europe based company.
