Green backlight with black text is boring. Even reversed polarity would be nice. I’ve seen some that come in blue or red and such.
No links though… sorry. Just a suggestion.
I know Crystalfontz makes these… crystalfontz.com They’re not as cheap as the plain one Sparkfun sells though. They got a lot of stuff… I believe the b/w touch screen Sparkfun sells is from them, I think.
If SFE is interested, they can pick up any of the modules at www.lcd-module.de from a distributor in the UK who has the best prices on their products. www.mms-electronics.com. I’m currently using their 20x4 blue/white LCD and it looks fantastic…
EIO carries some colorful LEDs by Orient Display (they’re not all that cheap, though) - http://character-lcd-lcds.shopeio.com/i … cter%20Lcd.
We just posted the black background white font LCD:

Also a new graphical.
We actually can’t buy from normal sites anymore :)! Our customer volume is becoming so large, we have to buy in higher and higher volume. This makes our roll-out time a bit longer, but we are enjoying to economy of scales.
Please feel free to keep posting good LCD vendor links. The more the merrier.
