 The other technology, called thin **film transistor (TFT) or active matrix**, produces color images that are as sharp as traditional CRT displays. Recent passive matrix displays using new CSTN and DSTN technologies produce sharp colors rivaling active matrix displays. Most LCD screens used in notebook computers are backlit to make them easier to read.

-Here is a list of compatible CLCD Controllers: Have a look to the datasheet of the dispaly you want to plug, you will get this info. If your LCD has one of these chips, there are good changes to get it work. These chips have similar instruction set, data bus and timings are like original HD44780 (or faster, which shouldn't matter). But this only means controller chip is compatible with the driver designed for HD44780. It may not be exactly what you need, forexample it may require a negative backlight voltage, which is independent of the driver IC. It's strongly recommended to get a display, that has a datasheet available.:
