There's no driver on that device. Even if you had the pinout, you can't just add 5v to a segment and make it turn black, it uses AC with some specific specs. Basically, it's impractical to drive these without a special ASIC even if you got it free. An alphanumeric display with a built-in driver/controller is the way to go.
looks like it would be all you'd need to at least test the thing out, but driving it from a microcontroller would likely not be so fun... at the very least, you'd probably end up with a lot of external logic chips taking up a lot of space.
You've got to do a LOT of work to use that, it's probably not worth the trouble?, unless you can get a driver IC for it?.
You can't just do what you suggest, LCD's require AC signals, it's fairly complicated to do, usually you use XOR gates to feed all the sections, with an oscillator feeding the other XOR inputs. Some micro-controllers are designed specifically for this purpose, and it's all built-in.
yes... such trouble and problem are something that i must be faced
with a temperature sensor circuitry, the currently temperature will be displayed through microcontroller.
Actually, i use a LCD, not such 7-segment LCD. Just wondering if i can cnange the type of the display.
If a driver must be used, some suggestions available?
I'd use an MM5453 chip from National Semiconductor if you intend to use it with a processor. It should have no trouble driving that display, as it has 33 outputs for a display like that. You communicate with it using a synchronous serial data stream. You can get them from Jameco, here's a link to a datasheet: **broken link removed**

Microchip claims the 18F913 supports 60 segments and the 18F914 supports 96 segments ... probably through some sort of multiplexing, as neither part has that many output pins. there are others, but they don't come in very friendly packages.
