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

Unless you need several thousand units per order, don't bother trying to get direct from China. Here is one specialty LCD supplier http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/parametric.php?display_type=character&chars=20&lines=4&coldots=&rowdots=&search=++Search++&overall_w_mm=&overall_w_in=&overallWRestrict=&overall_h_mm=&overall_h_in=&overallHRestrict=&overall_d_mm=&overall_d_in=&overallDRestrict=&break=1&price=

I am not sure if they have exactly what you need but I like this outfit.

I have blown up a few testing and they even fixed them for free.

How about 20x4 Character LCD Display Module with Blue Blacklight 5V, US $1.59/ea + US $5.99 shipping?

I've never dealt with them, just looks like a decent seller with a good price if you need 1 item. Contact them directly and they will most likely set you up with a deal on a large order. I have yet to have a serious merchant refuse to do one.

"As there are weight and cubage restrictions on international order, we are unable to offer you any discount or combined shipping for multiple items. All items are shipped separately."
