They're pretty small as is, viewing area just 64x16mm. How small do you need it.

Or even smaller - viewing area 51 x 14.8. https://www.altronics.com.au/p/z7013-16x2-compact-green-led-backlit-alphanumeric-lcd/

Does it need to be 16x 2LCD?

Those look about the size of the ones we use at work, though they aren't easy to source - but they happen to fit the cases we use, and we have the cases machined by the manufacturer specifically for them. We've currently got about 110 in stock. We did have a shock the other year, as they were discontinued - but they were replaced by an uprated, identically sized, version

The 'TextStar ' lcd is small 50mm x 18mm viewing area, but its serial and no backlight ( makes a nice debug tool for TTL serial )

I've used these, if your looking for small. Only 4 alpha/num characters but you can scroll your text and it is actually very readable. The great part is that you just send the ascii character values and the display decodes/displays. made by Broadcom - I think it is a design acquired from HP. Bad news, about $35 each.

The quick answer is yes.
Look here:

The window area is about 36x10mm.
I have several of them and they work well.

However, I do not know where to obtain any more of them.
I bought a few of them a number of years ago at an electronics flea market in Germany.
Since then I have not seen any for sale in the usual places.

I wonder if the modern character displays (modern hd44780) are quick enough that no read of busy or delay is needed. I suspect yes.

Can't find any that size in any of my regular haunts.

This site gives a reasonable idea of what is available in displays these days, although their pricing can be a bit on the high side https://www.buydisplay.com/catalogs...all+Size+LCD+Screen+16x2&product_list_dir=asc
