          No, blue isn't available. There's orange, yellow, green and 2 shades of red.

            man, blue is the best color, arg.
            can u post pics of the orange ones the the two shades of red?
            if one of the reds is like the stock led, u don't need to put it up.

              I only have green in stock right now, as I felt it would be the most 'different'. You should be able to imagine yellow and orange pretty well :) (photographing the displays to properly reflect the true emitted color is quite tricky anyhow)

                  Have Blue, Im no expert on LED's but why are clear or white LED's hard to find? Ive seen them and I would think they shouldent be that hard to make

                    White LEDs are tough to find because a) they're a relatively new technology (red LEDs have been available since 1969 but white LEDs only came out around 5 years ago) and b) they're actually modified blue LEDs. White LEDs use a phosphor that glows white when activated by the light from the blue LED.

                    So they're becoming easier to make, but they're still expensive.

                      so i guess it will be a while before a white LED display would be feasible....

                        Yes, it would be quite some time before even a blue display would be available.

                            Have Blue, the white LED's are blue LED's with a yellow phosphor layer in front right? so couldent you maybe take a yellow display use a window to get a blue/white looking display? Just an idea.

                              If it were that easy, it would have been done long ago.

                              The color of the phosphor itself isn't the issue - it's what color the phosphor will emit when activated and what wavelength is needed for excitation.

                                it looks like www.newark.com has the displays, do a search for "led alphaneumeric"

                                i have just riecently obtained access to a emag, so it looks like i might be joining the fun teehehe.
                                As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide

                                sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)
