Hello,
I am try9ing to find a small (say 15mm x 6mm) wristwatch size LCD
display for a project. All I need to display are 3 characters, no
graphics.

It seems everywhere I look all I find are very large 1x8 or 2x8.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hallo Jim,

I might have some leftovers fitting your description:

Total size: 18mm x 12 mm
Viewing area: 14mm x 8 mm

There are three 7-segment characters and some other symbols on the display.
A LCD controller supporting 2-mux 1/2 bias @ 3 Volts is required to drive the
display.
Zebra connectors are used for contacting the display - this means you have to
design/machine some sort of frame to mount it on your pcb.

Regards
Markus Mandl

Get an el-cheapo kids watch and do some creative parts removal.

Thanks for all the replies. Actually the keyboard switch like this one
might work perfectly for me.

Do they have a site with information? Or just this one with a picture of
a couple of keyswitches?

IE doesn't even get the pictures on the left side. (not surprising
though)

I need to install Firefox here at home.

The NKK site uses a pop-up for a chosen switch; the pop-up has a link
"get PDF datasheet".
If the Java that it ises does not work, then right click to show
source, copy the "PDF/IS01NCCF.PDF" or other switch name, then tack it
on the NKK url to get:
http://www.nkksmartswitch.com/pdf/is01nccf.pdf
Presto: the datasheet will download.

Apparently, you have to have java enabled; not just javascript. The site
shows me five navigation buttons, that are embedded in an applet.
They go here:

That might well be the poster child for inappropriate use of JAVA.
Thanks

I did go to their "contact" page and emailed them to let them know
that it sucks, albeit I tried to say so nicely. I didn't offer to
redo the buttons for them in javascript - I did that once, too, and it's
a pain in the ass. Plain old ordinary buttons, or even links, are
best.

Cheers!
