ERG Introduces New 6-Lamp, High-Power, Low-Profile Inverter for Powering Larger CCFL-Backlit LCDs



Endicott, NY, April 2005 - The new DmF6 Series of DC-AC inverters from Endicott Research Group offers flat panel display integrators a high-power inverter in a compact package (< 9 mm high) for powering up to 6 CCF lamps used to power CCFL-backlit LCDs in the 19"-24" diagonal size range.

ERG's DmF6 Series is designed to power up to 6 cold cathode fluorescent lamps with combined lamp power up to 60 watts, and providing a starting voltage up to 2400 Volts, with full flicker-free brightness control from 0%-100%.

DmF6 Series inverters feature an optimized form factor, high efficiency, on-board transformers, and on-board connectors for direct connection to the display, all on a single low-profile PC board measuring 9.52" (241.8 mm) x 2.83" (71.8 mm). Six mounting holes make installation quick and easy.

For dimming, an external enable/disable control and an on-board analog-controlled pulse width modulator provide flexibility by allowing use of either PWM or analog methods for dimming.

DmF6 Series inverters reliably dim to less than 0.5% duty cycle, resulting in a dimming ratio of >200:1. Optical dimming ratios of >1000:1 can be achieved.

ERG offers DmF6 Series inverters to match the specifications of all leading LCD manufacturers for panels backlit by 6 CCFLs. Uses include medical diagnostic displays, financial monitors, industrial process control displays, kiosks and numerous other applications where 6 CCFLs are required to properly backlight the panel.
