[Elecraft] EL foil for K1 backlighting

[EricJ]

You probably recall mounting a big black neoprene spacer between the display
and the board (pg 21, Figure 5-7). That's got to come out first so that
means removing the LCD. Hint: this is a project I'd put off for a little
while.

Hello,

Has anyone tried EL foil behind the LCD display on the K1?  The display I
have does allow some light through, so perhaps using a piece of this foil
will work.

Could the power inverter generate RF interference?

If you've tried it, let me know how it went.  

Here's a source for the foil and driver:
