The reason why I'm using a LCD display is because it allow me to display many characters and it doesn't need to be "refreshed" as 7-segment Led displays. Also, the interface requieres less I/O pins.
For this project I used a 16x1 LCD Display with 4-bits....

This project is provided as a "prototyping project" as no PC board has been produced. The photographs show the project built on a matrix board using surface-mount components and very fine wire.
The final design will require a double-sided board with....

Your 5x7 display is my favourite toy; the tunes and graphics in the elevator display always impress my mates!
Since building the display I developed my own 400 dot matrix using a pic and the SN74154 [4bit binary to 1 of 16 demultiplexer\counter] - in place....
