I have used many alphanumeric displays, with 1,2, 4 lines.
If I use a graphical display, will it be more difficult to use it as an
alphanumeric display?
I mean, writing only numbers and labels ?

Not necessarily difficult, but a little more complex and intricate -
to display text as graphics, you have to display each pixel, and for
that you'll probably need a look-up table, then interleaving the rows
and timing the colums is eminintly doable, albeit a little more involved,
since you'd have to go a pixel at a time.

Hope This Helps!
