Original Press Release:
Lumex Introduces Solid-State Backlight with 180° Emission Angle for LCDs, Displays, and All Backlight Applications
PALATINE, IL--Lumex, Inc. is announcing its new solid-state backlight for illuminating liquid crystal displays--or any display requiring uniform light over an area of 72mm x 30mm (2.83-inch x 1.18-inch). The SSB-COB6929SGW7900 backlight uses 50 LEDs to provide light over a wide emission angle of 180°. Compared to conventional fluorescent or incandescent backlights, the new Lumex unit provides a much longer operational life, greater immunity to shock and vibration, and it requires less physical space.
A combination of state-of-the-art LED chips and innovative light-management packaging, this backlight emits light from not only its primary face, but also from its sides. The result is an exceptionally wide angle of light emission. Lumex's 180° solid-state backlight is just 6.5mm (0.26-inch) thick. Its total footprint measures 72.5mm x 30mm--just 0.5mm (0.02-inch) wider than the light-emitting surface itself. The unit is powered by 24VDC at 65mA, for a total power consumption of 1.56 watts. Any color of backlight can be generated through the selection of LED chips to match a customer's requirements.
Production quantities of application-specific units are available in 8 - 10 weeks. Pricing starts at $10.79 each in quantities of 1,000 pieces, and varies depending on color chosen, options specified and quantity ordered.
