This is SO neat!

This makes me want to get a non-backlit Potable just so I can get one of these installed in it! It looks brigher and better than the backlit's old CCFL lamp, too (which, besides being old technology, likely hasn't aged well).

That being said, I wonder if one of those EL things can be retrofitted into a backlit Portable, using the original control circuitry?
