[sci.electronics] Need specs. for Epson LCD display

marks@mgse.UUCP (Mark Seiffert) (01/12/90)

I need the specs for two  types of displays that I have. Here is the info
I have from the parts them selves.

1)	Total size is 5 inches by 1 1/2 inches. display area size is
	3 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch. This is a LCD display, looks like it
	maybe 2 lines by 24 characters. Label on back says;

			EPSON
			EA-Y20025AZ
			33464

	Electrical connection is by 22 pins at the bottom.
	Interfacing this should be easy, the actual LCD is mounted
	with 2 PCBs and there are four SMDs on the boards.

2)	This is a 4 digit with decimal display in a glass envelope, it
	is 2 1/4 inches wide and 1 inch tall. Electrical Connections
	consist of 2 sets of 8 wires on the bottom of the thing.
	The label on the back says;

			FG410F1
		ITRON ------------  SHA
			JAPAN

What is required to drive these two displays? Where can I call to get data
sheets on the LCD display? I have something in mind for them, but I would
like to know how to use the Itron unit.

Thansks.

Last summer, I got an Epson LapTop LCD Display part (ECM-A0034, 4D3C88)
from a local comp hw store.  Later, I checked out an Epson PC seller
from the yellow pages, and asked them the Epson services' 800 number.
I then called that 800 number and was given a tel # of an authorized
eng. firm in Boston which repairs Epsons.  After talking to one of the
engineers there thru' the phone, I was told to go over bringing the
part to confirm with them, and would get a xerox of the spec.  But
I never went, since I haven't come up with any idea/project to use
that display.

So, you might wanna start pick up the phone and call now.  And good
luck.  (I threw away that 800 number and so I can't tell you now.)
