I'm sorry for not being clear.
Take a good look at the display itself (the glass).
You might see the separate pixels, and they could be grouped in 5 x 7 blocks or something alike.
My question was how many of these blocks can you see.
Are there 2 (or 4) lines of 16 blocks, (or 8, or 20) ?
That was what i was asking for.
The new photo's show the epoxy "drop" (that black thing), meaning the chip is glued to the board.
The "310597" is probably a production or design date of that board (may 31st 1997).
L1 and L2 seem to be the connections for the lamps (they appear to be tubes) of the backlight for that display, and the red/black cable visible in the first set of pics would be to power these lamps.
What do you mean with serial port adapter cable, and what board is that in the first pic of your last post?
All other text you copied from the board, are component numbers (R for resistor, C for capacitor).
