Complex 2 inch square one with only zebra spacing, so indirect side
illumination. Intend 2 bright white 5mm LEDs angled into the LCD glass or
would some thin translucent white perspex/luxite in the zebra space make for
better illumination. Just thin white backing sheet there at the moment.

Can't figure out what you're talking about. You have such a light and
want to figure out what you can do withit????
Take a look at the Philips scopes LCD display backlight, the lamp is in
the "L" shape perspex running the length of the display (lower images)

Basically a piece of Perspex to the rear of the display with a milled
out lamp hole, internal reflection lights the display from the rear.
maybe do the trick? The gap behind these displays is however quite
large, 3-4mm so you may not have sufficient thickness.
