LCD/PCB with zebra strips always have gold plated pads on the PCB,
at least that's what I've always seen.
I was thinking if it were okay to use simple tinned pads. Looking
for some guidelines, I found this:

They say:
c.) Contact pad material on the PC board, as well as the LCD, should be
smooth
and regular with thickness tolerances established.
Is that the key issue, a smooth surface? They don't specifically mention
gold plated.
Anyone tried tinned pads before?
