I posted this initially to one of the other newsgroups, and someone kindly suggested that this was probably a better forum...
This will sound very strange, I know, but I need to be able to display images in a situation where the display surrounds a tube about 8mm in diameter. Constructions with back-projection and so forth are probably possible, but I wondered about using a flat panel display. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the construction of flat panel displays to answer my own question which is ...
Can one bore a hole (laser cutter, diamond drill or anything else) through a flat panel display and still have the intact part of the display working ... or will the hole destroy the electrical connections to other parts of the screen?
