I recently acquired this device, and I have no idea what it does, or how it works (or how to make it work). The guy who I got the device from told me that it was some kind of counter, but he could not tell me much more. Trying to figgure this one out has taken me the better part of the day, and I need some help please.
The device displays two small diamonds on the lcd display when you rub the middle contact. It also clicks when you shake it. The contacts look like some kind of rubber or fabric with embedded metal. The device is encased in plexiglass, and does not appear that it is open-able. The writing on the device is:
- 056 (in white screen print on bottom left)
- MB0956 REV X (Possibly
- MBO956, on bottom right)
- hy (appears to be a logo, on middle right)
- 9440 (under hy)
- hy-212 (under 9440)
Pictures of the device are shown below.

It's hard to guess from the pictures you've posted, but it looks like a simple LCD module. Here's what I can tell from the desciption:
To make use of this display, you'd have to figure out the connections and make a PCB to to fit the zebra strip precisely. If I were you, I wouldn't bother trying to make use of this thing and would instead crack it open and see if there is anything interesting inside (hint: there probably isn't).
