These electroluminescence backlight panels have a fixed life span.
Since some of us use these scanners heavily, we can expect the EL
replacement panels to require replacement every few years (ugh!).
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have an almost unlimited life span.  Has
anyone tried using 2-3 yellow LEDs to backlight the display?   What were
the results of any such experiments?
