And if it's possible, some information related to this.c

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible. Note that ideally you'll want to use an LCD with a parallel controller.

This project is an example of exactly what you describe: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5081/I-O-Ports-Uncensored-Part-2-Controlling-LCDs-Liqui

The author suggests some LCD modules that will work in this scenario.

Answer 2

If you want to manually typed (bit wise) check the command response of your display, you could use "LPT-Display.exe" (for windows) from www.berndjager.de/LPT-Display/overview.htm
