Calvin, I appreciate your time in replying.
I fully understand that your choice of a white backlight helped to
differentiate your product offering from competing "green replacements."
But I am not looking at it from that aspect. I'm thinking about color
versus clarity. In my opinion, a white backlight is a better color choice
for the purpose of enhancing contrast on the LCD and thus improve visibility
overall (as compared with green).
So even though green EL technology has improved since Apple came out with
the Newt2100, what is the technical reason why WHITE cannot be made
brighter, or just as bright as the new brighter greens?
Your offer for a brighter-than-stock green is appealing, but I would be even
more interested in a brighter-than-stock WHITE EL.
Best,
James W.
