RGB LED Backlight Module?

Post by ProfessorX »

This site sells a White LED Backlight Module http://www.adafruit.com/products/1621. I was wondering if it was possible to get an RGB version as seen in this product: http://www.adafruit.com/products/398. Having seen the RGB LCD in person, the light diffusion is PERFECT for backlighting a nameplate for a costume.

Any help is greatly appreciated! As an aside, this is an amazing site with great products and even more incredible people. :D

That would make a cool nameplate. But at this time, we can only get the backlight modules in white.

Does it look like it would be possible to cut the LED out of the White LED Backlight Module and replace it with an RGB LED?

That should be possible. The acrylic is only 3.5mm thick, so you would have to start with a 3mm or smaller RGB LED - or else cut down one of the 5mm to fit.
