Electronic – arduino – Displaying text on a LilyPad

arduinoledlilypadmatrixoutput

What are the best options to show a line of text on a LilyPad Arduino, probably using a matrix of LEDs? Are there any thin and inexpensive displays?

The main problem is that the only things I can find on the Internet are around 8×8, but I need much more than that (about 4×40). Also, the number of pins on the LilyPad seems insufficient, but I might be wrong (I hope so) 🙂

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
