    Oops! Never mind. It allows you to use a single driver and a single pin for the E signal. Duh!

    You can use an 8 channels analog mux (74HCT4051), where you connect the pic enable pin to the input and the 8 outputs to 8 different LCDs (with a pulldown resistor). with three extra I/O pic pins you will select the proper LCD address using the selector line S0;S1;S2.


    Cheers
