Optrex Corporation makes  a nice line of small LCD displays.  They
go from 16 to 40 characters and from 1 to 4 lines.   The DMC 20434
is 20 characters by 4 lines.  I don't know much about prices, but
I recently purchased as 20 by 2 display for a single quantity price
of $25.00.

These have all the driver electronics included and work through a simple
4 or 8 bit parallel interface.  They require only a 5 volt power supply
and are very easy to use.
