Flat fluorescent lamp technology for LCD´s

The liquid crystal display (LCD) is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for high brightness, sunlight readable displays. One of the major drawbacks to this technology is the need for a high luminosity backlight. Fluorescent tubes, one of the most efficient methods of converting electrical energy into light, poorly fit the mechanical and optical requirements of LCD´s. Many attempts have been made to address these issues by developing a light source that better meets the optical and mechanical requirements of LCD´s. The wafer light is a flat lamp developed specifically to meet the peculiar requirements of avionic displays, and has demonstrated significantly improved efficiency, uniformity, and thermal characteristics
