Maybe 10-15 years ago I remember seeing fairly small dot-matrix LED modules that were arranged to provide 4 characters per module in a DIP-like package. I'm thinking they'd be ideal for my latest project but can't find any reference to them now. Does anyone have any pointers? Alternatively does anyone have any ideas for alternatives? I'm looking for 16 alphanumeric digits (could possibly get away with starburst or even 7-segment, but prefer dot matrix) no more than about 90mm width display area and a minimum of surrounding bezel. Must be light-emitting or backlit and no more than 10mm high above the board. Through hole mounting and +5V operation are desirable, but I can work around those requirements if need be. -- Andrew Smallshaw andrews@sdf.lonestar.org

Try Avago Technologies (www.avagotech.com) - they have smart LED displays with a DIP footprint. http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T072/P2209.pdf

I've had a look on thereir website and there are a few devices there that fit the bill. -- Andrew Smallshaw andrews@sdf.lonestar.org

They're 4 character but there are others of 8 or 10. http://catalog.osram-os.com/catalogue/catalogue.do?act=showBookmark&favOid=0000000000024909000a003a (or if my newsreader breaks that URL): http://catalog.osram-os.com and look under "Intelligent Displays" - there are other alternatives listed too.

They work very nicely. The availability for sampling, though, has been a problem. Anyone with a good source for small hobbyist quantities of Osram's 4- and 8-character intelligent displays? Jon

These are pretty easily available.

For anyone in the UK, they are available from: RS - http://www.rswww.com Farnell - http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/home/homepage.jsp Rapid - http://www.rapidonline.com/ Although the first two know how to charge.
