Change Background of QLCDNumber with PyQt5 to an image

Question

I currently have a program which changes the color of the background of the QLCDumber widget when a certain value is displayed on the lcd number, is it possible for instead of a color being the background when a certain value is reached an image appears in the background, such as a smiley face?

Here is the relevant snippet of my code responsible for the change in color.

def OnValueFound(self, value):
        self.ui.lcdNumber.display(value)
        if 100 < value < 300:
            self.ui.lcdNumber.setStyleSheet("""QLCDNumber {background-color: green; color: black;}""")
        else:
            self.ui.lcdNumber.setStyleSheet("""QLCDNumber {background-color:red; color: black;}""")

so instead of say the background color changing to another color it changes to an image?

I hope this makes sense.

I do not know if I understood you correctly. Try it border-image: url(E:/_Qt/img/heart.png);

import sys
from random          import randint
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow 
from PyQt5.QtCore    import QTimer

from ui import Ui_MainWindow

class Form(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)

        self.i = 0 
        self.voltageMin = 180 
        self.voltageMax = 180
        self.ui.lcdNumberCur.display(self.i)
        self.ui.lcdNumberCur.setStyleSheet("""QLCDNumber {

        self.ui.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.startTimer)

        self.timer.setInterval(1000)
        self.timer.timeout.connect(self.updateData)

        self.show()
