a *very* large 4x20 lcd display - a photo on Flickriver

            a regular hitachi style 16 pin interface - but MAN is this thing big!

transmissive white with blue background.  there are 4 white leds on the side panels (left and right have 2 each).

a 'normal' 4x20 display is shown to the left, for size comparison.

normal 2x16 displays are to the right and below (both in orange).

I was concerned about being able to read the song names from a distance.  I guess *that* worry is now settled ;)

lcd part costs $35 at mouser electronics.
