Technical Datasheet

Two new emitter options for OMC’s long-established range of edge-lit LED
backlights. Using our 3mm thick white reflector lightguide, these highly versatile,
white and RGB full colour backlights offer design engineers a brand new string to
the bow for the illumination of liquid crystal displays as well as other applications
such as transparency illumination and photographic equipment.

White backlights offer a crisp, fresh look to a modern display, while the full colour
RGB version grants design engineers the ability to choose any desired colour or
pastel shade simply by changing the drive software, or to convey information
such as the level of a measured quantity by changing the backlight hue rather
than modifying the LCD image.

Key Features:

Low cost
High brightness
Even illumination - diffused light source
Vast range of standard sizes
Easy to interface
Low current - emitters can be run from as low as 2mA
High reliability and very long life expectancy
RGB option allows millions of colours to be produced
Low electrical noise - no inverters required

RoHS Compliant
