I have recently replaced my el foil display with this one: Mouser Part #: 696-S01602DSF/E Manufacturer Part #: LCM-S01602DSF/E Manufacturer: Lumex Description: LCD Character Display Modules InfoVue Std 16x2 STN, Transf w/bklght http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Lumex/LCM-S01602DSF-E/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMt7dcPGmvnkBlSoZEj2dY0WBbxuN2hqA4c%3d $12.80 US 1) De-soldered the old header pins from the original display, soldered them into new display. 2) Removed the old EL-Foil Driver (black box) 3) Used router and file on case to accommodate new display thickness 4) Jumpered resistor in line on new display to get +5v for LED Backlight Nice new low power LED BackLight display, great contrast no need for added potentiometer.
