Increasing brightness of LCD display on radio

Dec 24, 2004 6 Replies

Hello people.



I have a pocket radio with a LCD display that shows current station frequency and if the radio is on AM, SW or FM.



However, the LCD display isn't very bright. (I have to put it against a source of light to be able to read it)



Q: How would I do to increase the brightness of this LCD display?

Reflective. I am considering mounting a small white LED near it, as if I put a white light (the flashlight from my cell phone) at it, the LCD is readable.

I found that by putting good batteries ("Power Alkaline"... normal batteries don't do it for long), the display is bright enough to be readable.

Thank you! The summer is being nice, however my computers are suffering from overheating! :(
