Don't need 400 Hz. You can use a light dimmer from a hardware store, for the EL panel at 60hz, add a resistor in series to keep things safe(limits current not voltage so much).

Driver circuit for small EL backlight

Hi
I have some 16x2 LCD panels, with EL backlight. I think they need something like 100 V, 400 Hz, at 1 - 2 mA
Has anyone got a circuit solution? I don't want to buy special ICs.

You can take apart an old camara flash unit and use the HV voltage from it. may need a resistor in series there too, dont need to trigger it. They are battery powered.

Not very useful in a battery operated device :(

You need an inverter, which you can buy or do by yourself (at that power level there is no problem). Basically, an oscillator plus a transformer. Maybe you knew this. I don't know.
