The Texas Instruments MSP430 family have several members with built 
in LCD glass driver support.  Atmels ATMega169 also does, as do several 
members of the (gag) PIC family from Microchip.

    I don't know how much research you've done on driving LCDs, but LCD 
glass (as opposed to modules using parts like the Hitachi HD44870) 
cannot be driven with DC voltages.  The average voltage across the 
segment must be 0 volts or the liquid gets damaged.  The LCD controllers 
job is to provide a suitable waveform along with the multiplexing for 
segments so that for larger displays, you don't need a discrete output 
pin for each segment.

    Most controllers have built-in safeguards to prevent DC voltages 
from appearing on the outputs for more than a VERY short time.  If you 
choose to implement your own driver logic (which is doable), you have to 
make absolutely sure that if the CPU is hung in a reset state or loop 
that you don't leave the output pins driving in a DC state.

    If you Google around for LCD drivers, you'll find tons of 
information on this subject.
