EL BACKLIGHTING PANELS, LED, & FIBEROPTIC BACKLIGHTING

ELECTROLUMINESCENT EL BACKLIGHTING PANEL SUPPLIER

Experts in Electroluminescent Backlighting, the previous owner of the business we acquired was one of the original pioneers of the EL technologies and we obtained this IP and industry know how to now be able to bring nearly any EL challenge to life.

EMBEDDED LEDs & LED BACKLIGHTING

Sometimes the AC/DC power requirements of EL lighting cause engineers to turn to the proven technology of LED backlighting.  LEDs can be used as we see here in this example image as surface mounted on a flexible circuit. This is use to bring selective backlighting to specific areas more so than lighting an entire panel evenly.

BENEFITS OF SMT LED BACKLIGHTING

  1. Maintain a Thin Profile

  2. Targeted Light Locations

  3. Multi-Colored Options

FIBEROPTIC BACKLIGHTING

Fiberoptic backlighting also uses LEDs for backlighting a membrane switch panel, vehicle dashboard, or similar application. Fiber optic backlighting panels can be integrated into panel assemblies and are ultra thin with tails connecting to the light source.  They provide even black lighting over a panel and have different design limitations than EL or SMT.  

BENEFITS OF FIBEROPTIC BACKLIGHTING

  • Ultra-thin Construction

  • Somewhat Flexible

  • Saves Cost with Fewer LEDs/sqin.

  • Withstand Shock and Vibration

  • No Time-to-Half-Light Issues as with EL
