LCD controller chip. This was already mentioned in this thread.

I mean, its segments are different than traditional 16x2 LCDs. Can it work with controller chips used with other LCDs? if so, then something like Arduino library is capable of using it but it needs some tweaking to modify segments since they are different than traditional LCDs.

16x2 LCDs use LCD controllers specifically designed to control displays like that. There are other controllers that just control the matrix of arbitrary segments (in this case 8 x 32 = 256 segments max).

It is a bare glass, it can be used with any controller capable of driving enough segments (and that specific arrangement of segments).

That's Arduino problems.
mikeselectricstuff:
No room/segments for a bargraph? A current bargraph would be a handy feature on a PSU.
NivagSwerdna:
Other than a linear display aka bargraph the latest version looks great.
Dubbie:
Just curious what would a bar graph be good for? Faster response so you can see current bouncing up and down?
