    What is the best way to connect to the typical LC display?   These things
have some sort of conductive layer on the glass as "leads" and as far as I can
tell, connecting one of these displays to a breadboarding socket would take a
bit of magic.   Anybody have any ideas?
 
    Also, what good single chip display controllers are there around?  I'm
looking to interface a 16 segment, 16 character LED or LCD alphanumeric
display, and I would really prefer that the 8031 I'm using in the project
could spend its time doing things other than refreshing a display.
