I think a more practical solution is to ditch the polarized glasses. Since the LCDs work by polarizing light, the designers are stuck. I found that I either had to ditch the polarized lenses when flying or do without my GPS and other LCD readouts. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

Both radio displays black out when I wear polaroid sunglasses. (I have also noticed that the displays on fuel station pumps black out.) It would be a good idea for designers to consider sunglasses when designing radios for mobile or portable use. I think the E-Ink technology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eink> might be a good match for radio displays.
