Displays' backlights last for 100,000 hours
Kyocera has revealed that the company has extended the backlight lifespan to 100,000 hours in 26 of its LCD modules. Available in sizes between 4.3 and 21", the long-life portfolio includes standard modules and modules suitable for use in extended temperature ranges, extremely bright light and in applications that require very wide view angles.
The RoHS-compliant modules are particularly suited for applications in difficult environments that require 24 hour operation over extended periods.
Eberhard Schill, Distribution & Marketing Manager, Kyocera Display Europe, commented: “The improved efficiency of the backlights in our LCD modules has allowed us to reduce wasted energy and increase the lifespan of the unit. That represents another trend-setting contribution from the Kyocera R&D team and is in line with our company-wide environmental strategy and our efforts to reduce electrical waste by producing reliable components."
