That are mostly dots on the acryl. My LCD acryl was full of those dots… The only thing I still use from the LCD is: the LCD controller, the chipset for the screen and the screen matrix. So now I use a screen of 2 mm thick. Works fine for me… Then you can simulate backlight with TL-bars…

The hexagonal pattern is on the diffusive paper BEHIND the acrylic it looks like it can easily come off.. And Nima seemed to have done his table using the lCD’s original backlight .... I wonder how he did it?

You have to keep the diffusive layers between the acryl and LCD-panel. Otherwise the backlight quality is crap. (and those hexas will show up)

But diffusive layers don’t pass IR well...

Don’t flip the filters… some of them work in one direction!

Hey everybody,
Got My hands on a 17” LCD monitor and dismantled it till i reached this crossroad.I’m Hoping some of you guys who’v dismantled a LCD already can Help me… with what i need to keep and i what i dont..

So i finally ended up with three parts


1) The LCD



2) The Backlight [I’m Presuming it is because it has two sets of wires-one and top and one i the bottom which i think go to the CCL’s]

This has a acrylic sheet and a paper behind it which has a hexagonal pattern [like a bee hive].THis paper looks like it can come off....should i take it off?




3)Three Sheets of This translucent plastic film…

Each sheet is actually different and has a different purpose.
You have to remove the very last layer, which is white, it shouldnt be translucent at all.  The other layers can remain.



Hope You Guys Can Help me out with this....

To keep or not to keep:That is the Question

They dont pass IR well but they do pass IR.  What your problem might be is that IR light is emitting from the CCFL and ur blobs are getting mixed up with it.  Place IR blocking film around the light source.

When your camera is looking from behidn the LCD screen; it should see the screen as almost black.
