Hi Everyone,
I love LED displays, segments and matrix, etc. One thing that is often annoying is that when off, the led looks different than the background color (where there are no LED's). I notice that some have a darker background and some have a medium gray background (trying to be closer to the color of the LED when off), etc.
If I get some material that is tinted like you see for the covers of VFD displays, etc., is there an easy way to glue this directly to the top of a led module? I'm thinking about a clear type adhesive that wouldn't get in the way of visibility. Maybe you could cut a small square of the tinting material out and then roll an even sheet of adhesive on it, etc. Any other ideas?
I've tried some car window tint that I got from a company who does it and it is thin, fills in the bumps of the LED's, etc. It does make the LED and background surface look the same, but isn't flat and professional looking...
Thanks,
Alan
