20x4 HD44780 LCD Supplier Recomendations

[retepsnikrep]

I'm working on a project which reqs a quantity of the above displays. I'm probably looking at buying say ~50 to start with to see how it goes. Now I'm sure some on here must have some recommended suppliers in the far east.

I'm just after a bog cheapo standard 20x4 HD44780 character lcd black on green with led backlight 8 bit parallel interface as most have. 16 pin standard sil 0.1" pin/edge connector pattern.

Further orders may follow. No point in me trawling alibaba and picking at random, anyone any trusted suppliers?
PM if you wish. Thanks Peter

Can't say anything yet, but I recently found a far east supplier which I'll try soon. They have various different sizes and backlight configurations of 20x4 LCDs here. I have no idea if they offer bulk discounts or not but you can contact them in English!

While I have not purchased components from them,
Sure Electronics are a source of displays and other components that many on this forum before you have purchased and recommend.

Hi

Look up rapid electronics, they do the normal 20x4 quite cheap now the oled ones are available.

ebay supplier was OK

For $US8.55 including international freight I purchased a sample of this and it works fine. I'm now buying a lot of items from ebay and especially from Hong Kong suppliers they get to me in Perth in less than 3 weeks.
