Also after taking a display apart it can be difficult to get the conductive strips aligned properly so it works when put back together. But maybe you could order inverse units from the factory. LCDs with light digits on a dark background are made this way for car stereos and the like. Backlighting would be pretty much essential. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
