I just gutted working new kitchen scale, and I have never seen a LCD display like this before. There are no pins just a black strip that goes on to the PCB. What brand of LCD is this?

  • Is there a brand written on your PCB? Then that is your brand. This type of LCD is never sold by itself. – Natsu Kage Feb 05 '20 at 04:11
  • @NatsuKage Well, actually you can buy this type of LCD, for example at surplus sales. I just found a Philips LCD with much more segments, though. How to connect it is another issue. ;-) – the busybee Feb 05 '20 at 07:49

The LCD is not what is special. The special part is the black elastomeric connector. They are sometimes used with LCDs, since most of the connections are very low current, a high-quality connection is not necessary.

The LCD has the conductive tracks which are not much difficult to see with naked eyes. Try to flick it against the light.

The black connector are called zebra connectors. Really cheap and you need some pressure alone to mate the LCD with the zebra connector.
