As lighting topologies have advanced, backlighting technologies have evolved to keep pace. At one time, cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) were the dominant technology for backlighting ...

[Fileark] had the backlight on his digital picture frame go out one day. These are generally Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps which require an inverter to source the voltage necessary for proper ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced three monolithic step-up converters for LED backlights and lighting, providing 30mA or 85mA current sources for six rows of up to 10 white LEDs. The LED7706, LED7707 ...

All so-called LED TVs are really just LCD TVs that use LEDs for their backlight. This backlight creates the light that allows the LCD to create an image. However, there are multiple ways these LED ...

Eric Franklin led the CNET Tech team as Editorial Director. A 20-plus-year industry veteran, Eric began his tech journey testing computers in the CNET Labs. When not at work he can usually be found at ...

Designed to eliminate multiple ICs in space-constrained portable applications, the AAT2846 and AAT2856 combine backlight drivers, high-current flash drivers and two general-purpose low-dropout (LDOs) ...

Describes the physics of LEDs, connecting multiple LEDs to a common driver, driver circuits, dynamic backlghting for displays, triac-dimmable drivers, and more. Fig 1. Stokes shift is a phenomenon ...
