Hey,

I"m looking at using a cheap transflective numeric lcd for a hobby project and came across this one.

On the datasheet, the pinout doesn't seem to have a vcc pin or anything. It just has the pins for the characters and 2 COM's. I realize I need a driver for this but the LCD itself should have pins to power the backlight, etc.. shouldn't it?

How where you planning on controlling it?
Why don't you use one designed to connect directly to a microcontroller?
