I think a bit more space between the lines would increase readability. I like the design outlined by Whales. The filled areas add quite a bit of pzaz. Mike's bar suggestion is a good one too. --- Quote from: VEGETA on October 19, 2017, 05:38:46 am ---It looks so bad, I prefer a TFT even with increased price. What happened to the project anyway? I thought the circuit with LT3080 used to oscillate. --- End quote --- Not to mention the durability of "simple" LCD displays. They take years to fade or break. |

Whale's design with the greater spacing between character lines makes it far more readable. The original seems cluttered and confused while adding the wider spacing even at the expense of some character size makes a real positive difference to readability. |

I've been sort-of tempted to try the latter just for the hell of it. The prices and leadtimes are so different from anything I've been told when talking to UK distributors. I spoke to someone yesterday at EDS who was talking 12-16 weeks, though I suspect that some of the Alibaba places quoting "3-4 days for samples" have a slightly different idea of the meaning of "custom", but there are some that list some more plausible leattimes of 2-3 weeks. I really can't imagine that any Chinese place could survive with 3-4 month leadtimes. |

User experience is as much an art as it is a science, and it is often very undervalued. I think John Kenny rightfully emphasized the effort that often goes into it and how important it is for the success of the device. Of course, if it's done right, you will actually never notice it. Maybe it pays to get a professional with experience to look at the matter. There tend to be lots of knacks, tricks and pitfalls that take experience to know and take into account. Although I think Whales' version is a great improvement already. |

What sort of minimum order quantity is there for a custom LCD? 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000000000000000000? |
