Title: Where to buy polarising lense to invert clock LCDs?
Post by: Mr.Tom on 03 June 2010, 19:08

I saw a tut once, but can't find it now. I wanted to invert the LCD displays on the dash, so that the numbers light up, and the surround it black. Seen it done, but can't find a source for the polarising plastic sheet. Has anyone got a source, or a spare bit I can snag?
Cheers.

Try RS components

Thinking about it, don't you just turn the glass filter over?

I thought it would have to be rotated 90 degrees to swap the polarisation. Thanks for the link tho (£15 for a sheet :s )
