+===== Considerations =====
+  * Power
+  * Size
+===== Components =====
+==== Display ====
+=== Old school LCD ===
+I'm thinking of pulls from old mobile phones, esp. Nokia. Power use should be minimal. Availability (used) should be good.

+  * [[https://www.adafruit.com/product/338|Nokia 5110]] at Adafruit, 84x48, $10
+=== New school LCD ===
+What's available? Again power consumption should be small when backlight isn't used. Looks like finding something suitably sized with workable I/O connections is going to be difficult.
