The Hackspace has a few Varitronix MGLS24064 LCD panels (thanks Andy C!) which are graphical 240 x 64 pixel displays with back lights and Toshiba T6963C chips.
This project will drive the display from a vanilla Arduino.

- "Unfortunately it needs a rather high contrast voltage due to its high temperature range: it may be as high as -23V, but I found out that even at -15V the display is entirely black so a contrast voltage in the range of -13.8 to -14.2V is optimal."
