Search for a package to generate graphic displays of calculators

Question

My question it is very simple: I have seen that there are several packages like, Graf35, and Casio ClassWiz font.

Is there any package that could generate this kind of drawing? I remember to have seen one like it some time ago, but I don't remember the name of the package.

It's not pixelated like yours but I liked tipfr, see page 11. CTAN also has ticollege. — DJP, Aug 12 '20 at 00:23
You could try the LCD package. It defines an extended alphanumeric character set, with each character constructed using dots set in a 5 x 7 matrix, mimicking an LCD display. See How to transcript codes from HP 50G in LaTeX for an example. — Ross, Aug 12 '20 at 06:34
@DJP Thank you very much for your contribution to my application. I don't know where you've seen it these years... but in my mind I remember seeing something similar. I sometimes like to use something that is old. — Sebastiano, Aug 12 '20 at 11:50
@Ross I reciprocate also to you from the bottom of my heart for contributing your comment. The same considerations valid for the comments included to all users. — Sebastiano, Aug 12 '20 at 11:53
@Sebastiano You said, "I don't know where you've seen it these years..."; the original post on tipfr is from 2015 here — DJP, Aug 12 '20 at 15:57

I can't really explain why but I find this topic quite fascinating. To gather more information you could search CTAN:

Suitable packages

The search for calculator yields

Package calculator
Use LaTeX as a scientific calculator
Package ticollege
Graphical representation of keys on a standard scientific calculator
Package tipfr
Produces calculator's keys with the help of TikZ
Package graph35
Draw keys and screen items of several Casio calculators

Then there is the keyword lcd which only yields one usable package:

Package lcd
Alphanumerical LCD-style displays

That's all I could find so far. As you can see, there are many different ways to do this.
