Emax

well done nik it sounds all good

i have some on order and will be fitting some on other machines

this oled lcd is great for machines that dont cater for el backlights 

like on the old dx7 and other yam synths

and as they are the same parallel connection they fit straight in 

this is also the ideal replacemnt for the casio range of synths

as on theres there invertors are 150dc and the back lights will work on dc but have a much shorter life than the ac version of the el foil

It is enough to stop the header fitting snug to the Emax board, but it is under 1mm of a difference, and there is certainly that much wiggle room between the display and the front of the Emax rack, so no problems there!
