Need some sort of el inverter

[atom]

I recently bought a little lcd display for a case mod but its el backlit and it doesnt come with an inverter. I know el wire takes ac voltage.. (right?) so would a cathode inverter work? What voltage range should I try to stay in? Can someone take their multimeter and measure what a regular el inverter puts out?

You can't use the inverter from the CCFL's tubes, you need a mini-inverter for EL panels something like this.
