Great job, cool retro diy project. But nowadays, simpler and cheaper to use practically free lcd or old monitors found at yard sales, thrift, or deals on the web. If oversized, mask to canon size. Use video files for displays as needed, or coded interactive graphics, python or other tools. I like to think that a lot of tos tech displays, series or movies, were actually 2d video or 3d hologram like displays, just appearing either as fixed physical indicators to us. Budgets and tech limits of the 60s-80s dictated use of bliken lights and static illuminated graphics, doesn't mean that's what they are, only to our 20th Century eyes. Other examples were apparent crt video tubes used in ST3+. Obviously not big crt tubes in use even now, much less 23rd century. Used Android tablets and phones with n7ce touchscreens also cheap to free
