AEG went the way of designing all custom hardware - one controller board per row of LCD panels (2 in a typical display), where each controller is pretty much indepemndently rendering texts with integrated fonts, taking care of scrolling texts and all that. Just a small board with a microcontroller, hooked up via RS485 to a PC104 control computer. funkwerk said "it's a display innit" and built a custom LVDS-to-SPI board that controls the LCDs and is hooked up to the control computer. I love it
