Re: Display

the ldc backlight is low in intensity compared to sunlight. the reflection
would be severely washed out due to the stray light making it back in, and
just plain old overwhelming it.  I tried messing around with an lcd this
way..  a nice sunny day wipes it out .. Now if we can evenly backlight it
with a nice bright source, but then the power consumption will go up along
with heating problems.
