These display's were used in a nintendo compatable VR headset that was
offered some time ago, I saw in a Nuts and Volts magazine a complete
operating unit for only $99.00USD a while back and ordered one.
Unfortunately..... 80Col text hurts your eyes after a few minutes and it
reall is only designed to display graphics. I haven't even tried messing
with it for Augmented reaility as the expieriments in VR with the headset
failed miserably, No use using something that gives you headaches.

It might be possible to sandwich the 2 displays to get better contrast but I
think there would be some serious parallax problems at the edges of the
screen. A black screen with white text has a grey cast to it, while the text
is badly pixelized.

Sorry to throw water on your fire.
