As lighting topologies have advanced, backlighting technologies have evolved to keep pace. At one time, cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) were the dominant technology for backlighting ...

Turns out our local zombie-infested Apple store was already stocking yesterday's new Santa Rosa-based LED-backlit MacBook Pro-- and so naturally we had to do our own wholly unscientific comparison.

Japan’s Sanken Electric has developed a new type of cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight for LCD TVs that’s as power-efficient as LED backlights but is supposedly up to 60% cheaper to ...

[Lee Davison] acquired an Acer laptop that didn’t have a display anymore. He had enough parts on hand to add in an LCD panel and give it a CCFL backlight. But when he started looking for an inverter ...

Backlighting in portable device displays has historically used cold cathode-fluorescent (CCFL) tubes which are difficult to power. The tubes run on alternating current (AC) and need a large initial ...

Large-size TFT LCD panel (10-inch and larger) backlight units (BLUs) based on non-CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamps), such as LED (light emitting diode) and FFL (flat fluorescent lamp) backlighting ...

Eric Franklin led the CNET Tech team as Editorial Director. A 20-plus-year industry veteran, Eric began his tech journey testing computers in the CNET Labs. When not at work he can usually be found at ...

The compact fluorescent tubes (CCFL) commonly used to backlight LCD panels have attracted the attention of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive because they contain mercury. Right ...

With industry players generally in agreement that LED backlighting will grow its role at the expense of traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) solutions, LED makers from Taiwan project that ...

Ok, so I have to admit firstly that I'm a huge fan of monitors with x-IPS panels. The color gamut/accuracy and the wide viewing angle are big Plusees for me, but the CCFL backlight is somewhat of an ...
