Anyone used tiny displays to "label" buttons on a Mame cab?

actually.. red would illuminate a red tag... red is the only color light that can pass through a red filter.. Maybe use a blue LED, Sort of like 3D glasses? I dunno.. seems like if they were stacked on the top most one would like and only if the correct color of light could pass. I guess they would have to be edge lit..

Where's that damned Nelson graphic when I need to poke fun at the noobs with young twins ? And no :tommy smiley to boot!
;D

They're doing great. They spent a month in the NICU, but they are home now and growing like crazy. She was 3 lbs 9 oz at birth, he was 4 lbs 7 oz. 3 1/2 months later and she's 9lbs 9oz, he's 11 lbs 6. The only things the doctors are a little concerned about is heading into RSV season as their lungs are not yet as mature as full term infants, but that's purely precautionary.

Thanks!
A little more on topic:
I cant get to my cab to take a pic of the panel with the inlaid displays, but I did take a quick pick of one of the extra displays next to a button to illustrate the size.

Seems easy enough to send a picture to it and AFAIK there's no need to refresh the picture. Display it once and it stays there as long as its got power.
Small E-ink displays would be better suited for button labels, I suppose. You could probably get them round, too!

wow these might work
a tad expensive though
