Global Lighting Technologies Featuring New Range Of Led-Based Edge-Lit Illumination Solutions At Electronica 2010

Utilizing high efficiency high brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) that focus the light into a high-performance light guide, GLT’s edge-lighting technology has enabled the company to offer a wide range of backlighting solutions, including:

• LCD backlights for applications from handhelds to TVs
• Keyboard/keypad backlighting
• Ultra-thin light guides for backlighting egress lighting and exit signs
• Super-slim light guide backlights for touch-enabled display graphics
• Edge-lit illumination solutions for general illumination / solid state lighting applications
• LCD backlights and general lighting for automotive applications

GLT will be featuring selected samples of these various applications at its booth.

“GLT is utilizing the latest advances in LED technology to create a new range of edge-lighting solutions,” said Brett Shriver, GLT’s Director of Sales. “Because the LEDs are located on the edge of the light guide, there is better optical control for color and uniformity, fewer LEDs, better repeatability, and the thinnest possible backlight. If it can be edge-lit, GLT can provide the best illumination solution.”
