I have experience dealing with LCDs with on-board controllers.
Due to my quest for color displays, I'd like to proceed to using an external LCD controller with a PIC to drive an LCD display.

I'm not clear on LCD display terminology. VGA, SVGA, XVGA, active maxtrix, STN, etc. A display controller like a S1D13706 doesn't work with VGA display, does it? I'm hunting through surplus catalogs for interesting stuff. I see the S1D13706 mentions "STN interface". Is that the term for a standard interface I'm looking for? It mentions "passive STN" and "active matrix" display support. Do these all go through this STN interface?
Which terms are things I can't use, and which ones are?
