LCD Backlights

Beschreibung

Research and development on liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight technologies are becoming increasingly important due to the fast growth of the LCD business. As LCD panel technology progresses, the lighting technology that provides the illumination for the panel must similarly evolve. The first part of LCD Backlights details the design considerations and technical requirements for the multiple applications of LCD backlights including those in LCD-TV, PC monitors and mobile devices. The second part is a full examination of the different light sources that are used, including the latest technological trends in cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs), mercury-free fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes (LEDs). The final part of the book analyses the optical component of backlights such as diffusers and brightness enhancement films. Key features: * Written by a global panel of leading researchers and practitioners in this field from both academia and industry. * Provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest status of LCD backlight research and development. * Considers techniques used for power saving and picture quality improvement. LCD Backlights is of significant interest to practising electronics and display engineers as well as scientists working on the development of liquid crystal displays. This book is also of value to graduate students and researchers involved in display technologies.
Research and development on liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight technologies are becoming increasingly important due to the fast growth of the LCD business. Backlight technologies contribute to functional improvements of LCDs in terms of wide colour reproduction, uniformity improvements of luminance and colour temperature, high luminance, long life, less power consumption, thinner backlight unit, as well as cost. As LCD panel technology progresses, the lighting technology that provides the illumination for the panel must similarly evolve. LCD Backlights is written by a global panel of leading researchers and practitioners in this field from both academia and industry. The first part of LCD Backlights details the variety of applications of backlights including those in LCD-TV, PC monitors and mobile devices. The second part is a full examination of the different light sources that are used including the latest technological trends in amongst others, cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs), mercury-free fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

"LCD Backlights is an invaluable resource for researchers and general readers alike. . . includes an impressive spectrum of topics. Having specialized for nearly 10 years in this field, I can attest to the fact that it would be hard to find anywhere else the range of backlighting technology and information covered in this book." (SID ID Magazine, 2010) "LCD Backlights is an invaluable resource for researchers and general readers alike.... [It] would be hard to find any where else the 'fullness' of backlighting technology and information covered in this book." (Information Display, May 2009)
