Is it possible to use any LCD with arduino or I need to stick to some for which the libraries are available. I'm just starting out with arduino and know nothing about interfacing LCDs with arduino. I'm planing to buy Old IPhone LCD as they are cheap and big enough to do something useful with them. Also to use iPhone LCD do I need to add some extra circuit or directly plugging iPhone LCD into arduino will work? I don't care about the touch feature right now.

A:
You will have to interface some gLCD's (if not all of them) with the libraries available.
I used this gLCD for my first project:

Datasheet for this particular gLCD screen here:

Alongside the following library (KS0108):

It is quite easy to draw and animate on, but the refresh rate isn't great (a good starters platform!).
Hope that helps!
p.s. The only thing I could find about iPhone LCDs and Arduinos was: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9188

I saw it, but it is too expensive in comparison to LCD which can be bought at other places. Also I wasn't able to find any one in the internet using it with Arduino or compatible microcontroller.
