Brecksville, OH, May 23, 2005– Global Lighting Technologies
(GLT), Inc. offers a range of custom LED backlights that utilize
only one white LED to backlight color and monochrome LCD modules
in a range of sizes for a variety of applications.
GLT’s single-LED backlights can be custom-designed in sizes
from 0.25” diagonal to 4.7” diagonal, all using a single
white LED.
The company’s patented MicroLens™ pixel-based light
extraction technology provides the most efficient utilization of
today’s LEDs, especially white LEDs, making it possible to
offer fully integrated backlighting modules with high brightness
(typically in the range of 2,400 cd/m2
@20 mA for a 1.5” diagonal), crisper color, extreme thinness
(to 0.60 mm), outstanding uniformity (approx. 80-85% on average),
lower power consumption (typically 20 mA @3.5 V), and the obvious
cost advantages of a smaller form factor with fewer components.
GLT designs and manufactures a range of custom single-LED backlights
for applications ranging from color micro displays used in electronic
viewfinders (EVFs) for digital cameras to color LCDs used in cell
phones, MP3 players and other handheld devices to monochrome LCDs
used in test & measurement displays such as digital thermostats.
GLT’s three Far East production facilities make it possible
for the company to offer these backlighting modules in production
quantities with quick delivery, and the extensive design and engineering
capabilities at its Brecksville, Ohio, headquarters offer customers
full custom design, prototyping, test & measurement, and optical
modeling/simulation.
“For most applications, we provide a total backlight solution
with LED, films, flex circuit or PCB, and, of course, our patented
MicroLensTM light guide,” said David DeAgazio, GLT’s
Director of Sales Worldwide.
Pricing for GLT’s single-LED backlights ranges from $1.20
each for 1.5” diagonal backlights used in color cell phone
displays to $1.75 each for backlights used in a monochrome digital
thermostat display. For details, contact Global Lighting Technologies
