Lumex (Palatine, IL), an optoelectronic-component devices and displays designer and manufacturer, is launching its QuantumBrite™ line of LED backlight technologies. Available in edgelit and chips-on-board formats in white and color options, the backlight products provide more than twice the intensity of traditional backlights, the company states. The white LEDs provide a high-intensity brightness of up to 10,000 nits, which allows full-daylight visibility. The QuantumBrite family is available in off-the-shelf sizes, and semi- and custom-solutions for high- or low-volume specialty applications are available. The backlit technology is suitable for such applications as interior lights, billboards and architectural design.
“Whereas many LED backlight providers often require a 50,000- or 100,000-piece minimum order for customized, LED-backlight solutions, customized QuantumBrite backlight solutions can be completed for orders as small as 5,000 pieces, making this an ideal product and service for high-value, small-volume applications such as signs,” said Yasoob Ahmed, Lumex’s manager of display technology.
The QuantumBrite edge lit LED backlights are available in both with- and without-reflector formats. The reflector format captures more light than does the without-reflector format, and can enhance light output up to 20%.
Unlike CCFL technologies, LED backlights are available in any color, including tunable RGB, or even custom colors like pink, purple and turquoise. Backlights can withstand shock and vibration in some of the most demanding applications, and have an average lifespan of 100,000 hours, compared to the average CCFL lifespan of only 20,000 hours, the company states. The RoHS-compliant QuantumBrite LED backlights range in size from 1 x 1 in. to10 x 10 in. Samples are available from stock, with custom production quantities in six to eight weeks and standard production quantities in four to six weeks.
