Title: How can I put a hole into my LCD screen?
Post by: stayouttadabunker on December 19, 2010, 08:28:00 PM
I would like it to operate like a normal LCD screen except there will be 3 large rectangle holes in it.
You may have seen this done with the WMS transmissive reel glass units.
Is this possible to do?

Hmm, there's a big break between the lower group (ending with Bunker) and the higher group (starting with Yoeddy.)

Yoeddy, you're draggin' ! You haven't even passed Joey yet. :5- :207- He only has about 150 posts on you, but then again, he stared a new thread every week for over a year when he was doing the "video of the week." series.

Munch, you only need two more to take the lead!  :267- :az-  (Okay, you're not from AZ, but it fits.)

To address the topic, Bunker, I think it might be better to just wait until transmissive LCD technology becomes affordable than to try to invent a workaround version. The wait shouldn't be too long. Once you can buy an affordable generic transmissive LCD, then you could have fun adapting it to work in a slot.

Just my 2ยข

I agree Stat.
I just wanted to start the thread to see if anyone's had any info on the technology.
I also seen some round top LCDs on the floor...I'm not kidding...
The top quarter of the LCD screens were rounded!
I thought that was amazing to see really.
I think Toshiba is making rounded LCD panels out there.
