The datasheet shows NT7605, but I found the one you had in mind:

For some reason I thought EL had lower current than LEDs. As long as the 
light output is decent, we could live with 10 mA current.

Thank you for the information. I'm surprised that nobody else has responded, 
is there no demand for low power COG LCDs?
