Is it possible to flip what is displayed on the screen, so it is "upside down"?
The screen I want to use has the header pins along the top - due to space constraints, I need them along the bottom. Can it be done?
Failing that, does anyone know of a 20x4 screen with a negative red backlight that doesn't have loads of PCB sticking out top and bottom?
Only way to turn letters upside down would to use Customer characters, and there is only memory for 8 of them, so unless you only have 8 different chars on the LCD it won't work.
Rewire the LCD with a flat flex cable....

Can't quite understand the red backlight display question. Do you mean the PCB needs to be flush with the frame of the display metal frame? I wish to find that too but not really easy to find.
Not necessarily both sides.
Flush with the top whilst having the pins on the bottom would be fine.
Looking at the one I have, it could easily be cut flush with the metal cover on the bottom, you'd just need to replace the ground for the backlight.
That gives me space in the wrong place, though - hence asking about the upside down thing
