Like one or two scan lines that are always white.  A few years ago
when I researched (probably on Usenet or repair webs) there were

Poor quality or low res?  I once had a tiny handheld mono LCD TV from 
Radio Shack made by Casio.  But have you told us what's driving this display?

is composite.  Mounted on your arm or your eye?
