Small low power graphics LCD modules?

D

David L. Jones

Anyone know where to get any small low power (monochrome) graphics LCD
modules?
I'm after something around the same size as or smaller than the
standard mini 53x20mm 16x2 character LCD display modules, but I want
full graphic instead of character based.
Ideally <1mA current and operates from a supply under 3V, although 5V
supply would be usable.

I can't seem to find anything suitable from the usual manufacturers
and distributors.

I'm aware of the current trend in salvaging the 84x48 displays in the
Nokia phones, and they have the voltage and power consumption I am
after, but the form factor and fragile nature of them are the problem.
Plus I want them readily available as a new part.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks
Dave.

I found low voltage an low power counter each other.
At 3.3V, the chargepump for the negative bias tends
to take much more than at 5V.
