Sarbajit -

Can you elaborate? I think this one just flew past me... 2 lines of 16 characters with only 4 bit indexing (alphabet of 16 characters?)... This sounds like (much) more than a digital watch (do those even exist anymore?) or even a calculator (only 1 line?).

I feel like you handed us a riddle like the sphynx!

I tried a massive, brooding, indifferent posture to Dougs posts on this one, but I could only hold the pose for a few seconds before breaking into a belly laugh appropriate only for the Buddha or Santa Claus.

Just to update fellow FRIAMers.

The most common standard display device in the world today is the 16x2 character LCD display. The vast majority of installations use it in 4 bit mode.
