lesthegrngo Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) If anyone is interested, I have converted my black on white LCD character displays to white on black(ish), you can see a before and after. I searched fruitlessly online for these 8x1 modules in white on black, and was always unhappy with the CMSC having the black on white displays. While not a true black background, it is way better than it was It's not difficult, but it is a bit fiddly. If there is enough interest I will extend this with a how to Cheers Les Edited May 31, 2023 by lesthegrngo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesthegrngo Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Yes, although it's not quite as simple as just putting polarizer film over the top, you have to remove what is there already otherwise it acts weirdly. Also I had to get a couple of types of polariser before I found one that was suitable, although as long as you avoid ones with mirror film or other treatments you should be OK Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-S6 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 In many cases you can simply take the polarising film that's in the display and flip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegrngo Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 It needs to be rotated through 90 degrees, so in the cases on ones that are not square unfortunately that doesn't work due to shape being wrong. Flipping it front to back will not change the polarisation Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegrngo Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 If anyone is interested I found a very simple and cheap way to make the LCD displays the correct green colour. It was as simple as some self adhesive transparent green plastic sheet from Ebay, which was simply cut to fit into the front of the LCD display. Finally I have the A10 CMSC displays showing in the right colour, which was niggling at my OCD! Cheers Les 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
