have a look here at Frank Gruendel's site
<http://www.pda-soft.de/2x00backlightreplacement.html>
The digitizer, touch sensitive layer has the textured surface with a
photo here at Daniel Padilla's site
<http://dev.newtontalk.net/~dpadilla/>

This is adhered (slight tackiness if I recall correctly) to the actual
display. then behind the display is the reflective/backlight surface.

If you plan to disassemble the 2100 be sure to follow Franks careful
systematic instructions.
