That is the type of burn in I have experienced as well. Not just on the small one you have, but on the various sizes.

There are some on Ebay right now (I have no affiliation with the seller). Do a search for IEL-0. I suggest shopping around for awhile to get the best price. I'm a bit nervous about the IEL-0-IV displays. After 10 days of basic testing, my test device has noticeable burning, though I cant confirm if the luminous output has dropped. I need to build a photometer and do more testing. Prior to using it, the entire screen was the same color.

I use a modular design approach, and everything is connected with a 10-pin ribbon-cable serial bus I call IOLINK. So if you are willing to adapt your favorite controller to the IOLINK interface, which uses 12V signalling (2 inputs, 5 outputs), these boards will be workable for you.

I have 2 types, the smaller IEL-0-IV, and a much larger I-195. Both are the 'alien' style formats, and will make unusual clocks. I have done some very initial testing on the smaller one, and it appears to be burning the phosphor after just a few hours of usage. It's not lit very bright, so I dont know if this is a common burn-in phase, or not. Documentation is pretty limited, and I've been running a 50-page document page-by-page thru google translate; so far nothing has come up regarding burn-in. If anyone out there is working-on IEL's, or planning-to do so, please chime in so we can start a discussion here.
