Interesting! I have a transflective version of the display (and a
metal shaft pot :) just sitting here waiting for a few free hours. I
didn't know the stock display could possibly already be transflective!
Unforch, while I did think ahead enough during assembly to mount one of
the caps that boarders the display on the other side of the board (inside
the MCU socket IIRC), I also seem to recall there being a rubber spacer in
there that isn't going anywhere while the display is soldered in :). I'm
also curious what you're using as a light source / diffuser -- most light
bars are too thick, and I haven't been able to find any diffusers of the
right size .. I just figured I'd end up winging it with paper or a nip off
a plastic cutting board :).

Hi Andrew:
I'm working on a backlighting mod for the K1 and I just happen to have that
info...
The K1 manual specifies it as a V.L. Electronics VI-321-DP-RC-S-12 display.
however that nomenclature is no longer totally accurate. The VL web site can
be found at:
http://www.varitronix.com/
Apparently, Varitronix is the parent company for V.L. Electronics and this is
where the LCDs can be found.
The LCD currently sold by Elecraft for the K1 includes a 'transflective'
polarizer which both reflects ambient light AND will allow for a rear-mounted
backlight. In fact, I'm presently working on documenting a mod to add
backlighting to the K1 LCD display. Watch for it.

I'm trying to find specifications on the 3 digital LCD used on the
Elecraft K1, since I'm working on a custom application that involves
changing it over to a 3 digital LED.
Can someone provide the manufacturer and model information on this
display so I can locate the specs?
Thanks,
