However I wanted to know if there are other low powered alternatives too. 44780 is a dot matrix LCD and I was looking for something like 7 segment LCDs which I guess would consume much lesser power. Something like which is found on the AVR butterfly. http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3146 Problem is, I want to know the part number so that I can buy it. I am from Hyderabad, India. Any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated! regards, Seemanta
