You can purchase just about any 16 x 2 LCD module that's equipped with an HD44780-type parallel interface, which is just about all of them. There are thousands of different types out there, so it's impractical to recommend a single module. Check your local electronic parts sources, eBay, etc. You'll find more than you'd ever want.

(But, if you insist :), I can recommend a couple. I'm particularly fond of the miniature 16 x 2 display manufactured by Hantronix, available here, or for a full-sized display, the white-on-blue backlit module available from many vendors, including Sure Electronics on eBay.)

The very best reference on driving one of those LCD modules has been written by our very own hippy. (I'm surprised he didn't chime in, himself, with an answer to your question. Maybe he's becoming modest in his old age. :) )

His superb article is here: http://www.hippy.freeserve.co.uk/picaxelc.htm

And, for your future reference, this site will show you all the ins and outs of the HD44780 command set.

Hippy shows you how to drive the LCD, and the site referenced above will teach you what you can do with the LCD and just how to go about it.

Hope this helps.

Ciao!
