gel for colour

i wont use telesis units as they sent me 1 and it was back to front they had 
the anode and cathode the wrong way round so when i put in the lcd it shon 
backwards very anoying as i turned it around and the foil did not light at 
all

i contacted them as it was a customer repair and he told me that the foil 
was correct i told him it was wrong but got no joy from him i ended up 
forking out extra cash to get 1

from the link i gave which was perfect as they have silver backing and will 
only light 1 way

when you make your own efoils you buy an efiol sheet which is a big square 
200x200mm and with a number of cathodes and anodes arround the outside of 
the big efoil

you then cut the sheet to make the size you require

there are diferent polarities of anode and cathode so that they can be 
connected from either right or left

when they make the efoils for various synths they cut an efoil and test the 
polarity of the efoil with the synth using jumper wires this way they can 
tell if the + or minus connections are reversed on the lcd terminals

so that you can make sure that it shines the right way
