Optrex America Inc. announced a series of industrial thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) modules with long-life light-emitting-diode (LED) backlighting.

LED backlight has many advantages over conventional CCFL backlight. Advantages include: no warm up time at low temperatures, lower power consumption, and higher dimming ratio. The LED backlight displays do not require the high-voltage and high-frequency inverter circuits, thus lowering electro-magnetic interference (EMI). LED backlight contains no mercury, make it an environmental friendly option.

Most of the Optrex’s LED backlighting systems provide a minimal of 60,000 hours of lifetime, and the LED rail is field replaceable. Currently available in 5.7”, 6.5”, 8.4”, 12.1”.

Optrex’s LED backlight LCDs were designed for a board range of industrial applications, including test, measuring, and medical equipment, etc. Each of the new modules is compatible with Optrex conventional TFT- LCD products of the same size and resolution. Plus, the optical performance is further improved with latest technologies.
