Global Lighting Technologies high-brightness backlight solutions for high-efficiency, sunlight-readable displays

Global Lighting Technologies (GLT) has introduced high-brightness backlight solutions for high-efficiency, sunlight-readable displays.

GLT can design and build the light guides in different sizes - eg, 5, 7, 9 and 12″ diagonal - to fit the user’s requirements. They are suitable for applications such as automotive, avionics, marine, commercial signage, point of purchase and a variety of other displays that must be clearly readable in direct sunlight. The assemblies use mid-power LEDs mounted on a metal core PCB with passive thermal management and can be seamlessly integrated into end-product displays.

GLT is, for example, able to design and build of a 7″ diagonal backlight that consumes less than 15 W of power and produces a brightness of 50,000 cd/m² at the surface of the backlight, as well as a 12″ diagonal backlight that requires less than 32 W of power and produces 35,000 cd/m²  brightness.
