It's a hobby project in that case, not a commercial one. --- End quote --- Actually this is an EEVBlog project. The revenue from the video discussing the making of the custom LCD will probably cover the cost. I'm looking forward to seeing the video. --- End quote --- I'm afraid not. You can argue that my time is "free", but David2 who is doing the bulk of the grunt work is paid real full time engineering wages. A video with say 50k views only bring in about $75-$100 in ad revenue tops. Even if I did 10 videos on it, it wouldn't pay the wages even up on until this point, and we are hardly into it. |

A few weeks ago I received my custom LCD display and a back-light panel, The LCD display is COG and has only 5 pins on it. ;D |

A nice clear custom LCD to me has the vibe of "professional design" rather than just "oh, it's an Alibaba matrix display in a box. And the most important thing, I like segment LCD's and as a bonus it will make an interesting video of the process of doing it. |

I can't remember exactly, the unit price of the LCD is about 20 something, the back-light is about 10 something, CNY. I think they are cheap enough, the only problem is they asked for a minimum order quantity, which was 6,000 pcs. |
