Hi I have not tried it but there are some glow in the dark plastic sheets that once charged up with a flashlight will glow brightly for several hours. This is not the stuff you played with as a kid. This sheeting will put out some serious light for quite a while with only a few seconds charge time. A 3x5 card of this stuff will light up a room in complete darkness enough to read by. My thought would be to replace the K1 display with the one with the clear back and place a piece of this glow sheet behind the display. Here is a source for the sheeting
