LCD help!!
(OP)
I am not a electrical engineer, but my project is in desperate need of an LCD. I know you are thinking 100's of companies supply this technology, but our application is a custom design for a military application. If you are not familiar with ITAR (Internal Traffic in Arms Regulations) you might not understand.
In short we need someone to supply a LCD completely manufactured, components, assembly, etc. in the United States. The size is in the 10mm X 10mm range. I am looking for any leads to a supplier with this capability. Sorry this is not a technical thread, but desperation is setting in with an aggresive project schedule. I appreciate any and all help in finding leads to suppliers.

One US vendor I used for a full custom LCD some time back is www.polytronix.com. They do commercial and military custom LCDs.

COLOR: AMBER
Fast updates is desired.
We need custom glass and alphanumeric segments.
RE: LCD help!!
ITAR is normally more concerned about things, or info, being exported from (leaving) the USA. If the imported display is just alphanumeric, then ITAR wouldn't normally be an impediment. On the other hand, if the display needs to have an indicator such as 'Antimatter Beam On', or 'Aurora Mach 12 Limit', then ITAR would apply because your display specification would have to be too revealing.
If you can specify your display requirements without revealing any secrets, then you should be able to buy it in from anywhere. It's just another component or subassembly. You've already posted several key characteristics on the Internet which could constitute export of data, so you can probably see my point.
This is based on my experience, but I recommend that you check again with your in-house experts if your display spec can be kept general.

Nonetheless, have you contacted Kopin? They're pretty much the supplier of choice for small military displays:
