;)
What was it advertised as, how did you find out about it?
Plus:
Powertip did not explicitly advertise the PG320240 as a display for the Hioki only.
Hioki only used it for its own purposes without changing anything.

I googled the part numbers, and similar stuff came up. Then I messaged the seller to see whether the LCD I found was compatible or not. It wasn't, so he suggested this one instead.
I couldn't tell you for sure why any of it is the way it is. Do we know for sure that Hioki didn't have Powertip customize any parts of the panels?
ETA: I should add, I think the sellers level of understanding when suggesting the replacement was based on the physical measurements more than anything else. 😉

Anyway, it's in a pretty good place now. Easy to read and stable.

If we had a circuit diagram, we would really know.
That is one point.
The other is that, in contrast to today's displays, they were still rather “raw” over 20 years ago.
The graphics/character generation was on board, in this case 4 bits were “pushed over” to the display in parallel.
