I'd like to install a heads up display in a car. Several years ago I
disected a LCD display and noticed that the silver background could be
easily removed.  To my surprise, the LCD was clear.  Could a lap top
computer LCD be used as a heads up display with the silver background
removed? Does any company market such a device?
