Z23 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi, just been searching for a red text on black 40x2 display but can't seem to find anything. I see some people have used these in their MB6582 builds and I'm wondering where to find them if anyone can help, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 You could use a white OLED (or LCD...) and a red acrylic screen protector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z23 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Great idea, thanks! Where would one find a red acrylic screen protector? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 For example at Schaeffer (Front Panel Express): Quote Perspex Acrylic glass (Plexiglas®) is particularly suitable for display windows. We stock transparent acrylic glass in the material thicknesses 2, 3 and 4 mm and red acrylic glass (semi-transparent) in 3 mm. You would need to design a stepped window but it can be done! Maybe there is a design file around. Another way is just to use a thin sheet of whatever colour, either with or without a clear window. But if your panel is thick, a nice window looks subjectively better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
