No, not Gremlins.
Fantastic little graphical LCD displays.
And they are little. Much smaller than the photo from eBay suggested they would be. Perhaps it was just taken at a funny angle. They're longer and slimmer than they appear in photo. But just as cool!
I've been searching for a connector for them with no luck.
Because part of the wires are exposed, it's quite possible to make up a PCB with exposed traces and just solder them straight on. Or perhaps use a through-the-board approach to make a neat, secure connection.
Until then, here's a photo of the LCD with it's backlight lit up (from 2xAAA batteries) - showing the position of pins 17 & 18.
