Display is branded Sharp model LM167511 and it is controled by the OKI MSM6262 chip.
The other 2 components present on the PCB are column drivers T6A39, not particulary interesting to control it.There's not a lot of documentation about this display provided by Sharp nor anyone else, and googling for its name you can only find an old post of a spanish guy asking if someone knows how to use it.
Using a multimeter and the datasheet of the OKI chip I mapped the chip pin on the control headers.
The most hard part has been understand how to use V5.
I thought to use it, in the same way I used to use V0 on the hd44780, the OKI chip expects a negative power on that pin! I got help on that.
But after that it was a piece of cake.
To control it I used an Arduino board and the following circuit:
The display has 7 lines of 16 characters each.
0x08,0x48,0x88,0xc8,0x18,0x98
and this some code I wrote to drive this display.
LM167511.cpp
LM167511.h
sharp_expi2c.ino
that's all.
