As time goes by our sight is becoming poorer; so, when I spotted an old HP instrument faceplate on eBay sporting a couple of big displays I couldn't resist. :-)

Hooked it up to my CX (messy wiring is my friend... ;-) and "voilà!" huge characters for everyone to see.

Just before you ask; no, this is not intended for production, it's a mere hacking exercise just for the joy of it.

So, the display is from an "old HP instrument" ?
I'm just playing with the thought of replacing broken Bubble LED displays with LCD. (Blasphemy!)
(Maybe someone has already done that)
