Hello.
Most LCD displays based on Hitachi controller clones, have maximum 80 characters to display - the biggest one so far being 20 chars X 4 lines. However, I've found a bigger ones, for example, this one has 40 chars X 4 lines, which means 160 chars. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14796013100 It is based on SPLC780C compatible controller. Quick lookup on datasheet appears that it should be compatible with Hitachi controller, (but display pinout itself is different), therefore we can use it with PBP using standard LCDOUT routines. Any ideas on that?
(Personally I'd prefer 20 chars x 8 lines display, but can't find such one yet)
