Ladyada posted a thorough tutorial regarding Arduino to LCD wiring -
For a soon-to-be-released project I needed to have a character LCD display. I’ve got a box with a few of those $10 parallel LCDs that are so popular. There’s even a few libraries at the Arduino playground for easy use. Dave Fowler from uCHobby even started out with a great tutorial. However, I didn’t see any good tutorials on how to do the actual -connecting- part. So I took pix while I wired up one to a protoshield and tested it.Hmm, "soon-to-be-released project" - better make sure I finish up those motor and ethernet shields first. - Hooking up an LCD to an Arduino
In the Maker store:

Arduino Diecimila PLUS USB Board, fully assembled

these can be wired to the arduino with only 1 wire!

hi, its not an LCD shield. its a tutorial on how to connect an LCD. if you have a parallel LCD but can't wait a few days to order a special item, then you can do it with some wires. & this tutorial was written so that people can understand how the wiring is done.
