Thanks Bill,

I will look at Sipex. I have also found the Supertex web site which has some
excellent info.

Best Regards,
Gerry.

Note that there are chips designed just for driving EL displays.  Sipex is
one manufacturer.  These apparently use dI/dt type drivers, along with the
minimal current requiresmenst of EL displays, and achieve high volatges with
a simple (external) inductor, and a couple of external resistors for timing.
