By the way, I'm assuming you have this LCD. How do you like it? -- I'm wondering if it draws a lot of current (i.e., needs bright backlight) for good visibility.
I have some of these LCD's from scrapped Nokia phones. They are absolutely great, and does not use much current. Think of a cellphone like a 3310, the standby time is enoumous, so the display is made to save power. They are readable just fine without backlight.
Good to hear; most of the TFTs I've worked with have been power-hungry.
I'm designing a few PCBs for this, but with an Atmega already on the board (an "LCD-duino" so to speak). Let me know if you're interested in a couple of the blank boards (complimentary).
I use Eagle; you seem to have far more and versatile experience than I do; I'm somewhat of a beginner with PCB design -- BTW, your latest project looks pretty fun. I've played with the TLC5940s, but they consumed too much standby current (no sleep pin) for my current project, so I stuck with shift registers.
If you wish, please shoot me a PM with your email, and I'll mail you a couple of boards soon as they're ready!
