Markets - Backlighting



Backlighting applications provide an enormous opportunity for you to use high-brightness LEDs to replace existing cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) technology. The advantages of using LED backlighting have already been seen in the LCDs of cell phones and will be increasingly seen in televisions, monitors, and notebook computers. LEDs provide more saturated colors, have longer life, consume less power, and have smaller sizes than their CCFL counterparts.

  • Medical
  • Aerospace and defense
  • LCD TVs/monitors
  • Notebook computers
  • Handheld devices/PDAs
  • Digital cameras and camcorders
