    One display that definitely works is SBLCDA4 from www.softbaugh.com - there is also a development board on that site that contains the SBLCDA4.

    You may have to do a general search for other alternatives - it is a mux-4 or COMM4 interface...

    Not sure if you realize that the LCD's that compatible with internal LCD drive are the so-called LCD Glass. They are usually custom made for a specific product.

    There are only 128 Segments. If the LCD Glass uses each Segment as a dot as in a dot-matrix, then you end up with a 8*16 dot-matrix or something like that. Not adequate for most display needs. 

    On the other hand, you could have used (a) one single segment as the logo & product name, (b) another few segments to show alternative modes of operation of your product, (c) 5 segments for a battery icon with 5 different levels of charge states, (d) 7 segments for each digit, (e) 16 segment for each alpha-numeric character ,etc.
