alistermorton Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Operative word being modern, Tim :-) I don't know if this "ancient" LCD1850E is edge lit or not, but the whole of the screen gets warm when it's on, and the lighting is very even.

LX Tech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi, I have done something "similar" to this many years ago, & the effect looked great EDIT:(Only suitable if you don't mind having the map printed on the clear sheet itself that is) A few pics below... basically we had a fine dot matrix of the required image's printed on the sheets, with a higher density of dots for the image itself & then a lower count over the whole sheet so the light had something to refract with... (The panels were also curved & not particularity small either) & we lit these from just the sides with LED's mounted on small narrow PCB's concealed in an aluminium channel. Bear in mind too the LED technology in those days (2004) was nothing like it is now, with much brighter LED's available today so in theory could be made to look far better than my effort ;o) http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z268/UK225/BAE18_zps6c85b7b3.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z268/UK225/BAE12_zps7f54a88d.jpg RegardsMorgan P.SApologies if images this size are not allowed.. I did give the terms and conditions a quick scan & didn't notice anything in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
