Is arduino capable to do seperate work?

i am working on a project with 2 led displays.

both of them will have scrolling text, different text, different starting time.

i was wondering if there is some way to do that (except of a second microcontroller)

Do you know about this: Arduino Playground - EventFuse Library?

And of course you can bring in the big hammers:

Or a really small hammer: Arduino Playground - TimedAction Library

If I read your question correctly, I think you are just asking if you can declare 2 LiquidCrystal objects?

LiquidCrystal lcd1 (rs,rw,en,d0,d1,d2,d3);
LiquidCrystal lcd2 (rs1,rw2,en2,f0,f1,f2,f3);

and the answer should be yes if you have enough pins. I haven't actually done it. They would be initialized one right after the other in this scheme.

If I read your question correctly

I don't think you did; lcd != led
