Marktech Optoelectronics today announced the availability of its new series of Backlight panels. Available in a variety of colors and sizes these backlight panels are ideal for a wide range of applications such as LCD backlighting, large area illumination, mobile and battery operated devices, sign, transparency and negative illumination. Until now backlighting options have been limited. Electro Luminescent (EL) Technology had drawbacks with limited life and the need for a voltage inverter, Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) again suffered from limited life and the needed for an inverter, early attempts at white LED backlights relied on large multi-chip clusters which made them expensive and current hungry. This new series of backlights with their combination of reflector and diffuser technologies has allowed the creation of a usable size of bright light from single panel illumination.
