Could you send me the information on the web site that sells used 1500 nit
displays.  If you are going to display data you really need the full
sunlight displays.  I want to install a cockpit management system but when I
looked at the prices of new displays ($2000 to $3000)I opted for the Compaq
IPAC pocket PC.  I have both the Windows 2000 and Windows CE embedded
software development kits that I obtained free from Microsoft.

Can't find a specific page with the sunlight readables at the moment,
but I did see several a month ago.  Their inventory changes all the
time.  It might be there but I didn't take enough time to find it.  I
did email them, though.

Touch screen is a good idea, but I don't know if there are Linux drivers
for that.

It is just the back light. Most of the high brightness LCD's use small florescent
tubes for back lights. It is probably possible to build your own back light.
