I’ve got a small stockpile of these if anybody is interested. They do have EL backlights, but they can be swapped out if need be, or an inverter could be used. They’re £1.25 each, so they’re available at that price plus postage. PM me if you’re interested, first come, first served.
Seriously, is nobody interested in these?
I’ll probably have a few of these. What colour is the backlight and do you have any schematics for a suitable inverter? Also, do you know if they are compatible by th MBHP?

They are compatible yes, that’s why I was surprised nobody wanted them! The backlight appears to be a soft green/blue colour, which I quite like, but i’ve not had time to knock up an inverter for it yet. There’s around 5mm between the back of the LCD and the PCB, so I think it would definitely be possible to slide some SMD LED’s in there for a less power hungry backlight, but again, i’ve not had time to look into that.
As soon as I can find an inverter circuit I’ll have a few. What input voltage/current do these need?
G
Ermm, off the top of my head I couldn’t say. Check the datasheet for info, I think it’s 5v, but as I say, can’t be sure.
