LCD displays - Character display query

This is what I would have expected to see in a first place. Those displays are not compatible with each other at all, so replacement will not work.

The later one is obviously cost optimized version. Zebra strips are quite cheaper and easier to work with and a genuine controller got replaced with some random no-name one.

Hello Ataradov
Now I dont think the previous backside picture of a circuit board was from the same model - I found that online as an example and I think it was labeled incorrectly - its totally different.

Got to ask once more then ......So IF the Japanese (same model) physically is the same as mine in the last photos - apart from being easier to swap the LCD - would it still present Japanese ?

Yes, no matter what you do this display is not going to display anything other than it was designed to display. That text is technically just graphics, it is fixed. There are no pixels, the whole text can be on or off, all at the same time.

But swapping displays with a zebra strip is trivial, so at least there is that.
