Scott,

Not claiming to have intimate knowledge of LCD interfaces, but wouldn't it
be good to put a layer of nickel between the copper foil and gold plating to
act as a cheap diffusion barrier, much like is commonly used for wire
bonding (COB) applications?

Was thinking of 2.5-7.6 um of low stress nickel
