These seems to fit exactly in what I was thinking on LCDs. I will keep
evaluating the LCD and LED alternatives.

Thanks a lot for this tip, I was thinking about something exactly like
this, except for the switch, but no problem with this, maybe the
switch will be useful.

Sometimes it is difficult to buy this kind of electronics in Brasil,
so I am thinking about that too.

Thanks again for all of you who are trying to help.
