they will be really simple bitmaps images, you can get different grades of transparency by modifying the voltage, but I don't know if this will eventually damage the film, it is kind of picky about the voltage and current you use. I'm still working on the mounting system but I'll try a much standard...

Thanks Rob!
one question, if I'm using 15v ac on the switches, what DC voltage do I need to put on V+ and V-? 15 and-15?
thanks

Hi Rob, Thanks a lot for your answer. I thought it wasn't possible to feed an AC current through a MAX335 switch. If so that would be the ideal situation of course, because you're right, converting the current individually for each pixel would be crazy. but looking at the MAX335 diagram I'm confused...
