[Elecraft] LCD display of K2 changing in LED display

[Rick Robinson]

For a similar effect you may like the looks of using polarizing film. It
reverses the display colors. Instead of black numbers on a orange
background, it will give you orange numbers on a black background. The
color will depend on the color of your display. Many fine examples and
information on this procedure can be found in the Yahoo groups Icom R75
group. You will need to join the group to view the files section. Really
neat looking .
