The trick seems to be to layer acrylic sheets, etch them in the shape of<br>
the digits, and put a bunch of WS2812B RGB LEDs behind them. The<br>
difficulty would be to get the etching and even illumination right, but<br>
they're selling the PCB (a bit steep though).<br>
The big advantages would be low power, ease of use, and a choice of<br>
digit colours...<br>
