  • Published : 2003.07.09

Abstract

A direct light type backlight for large-area LCD-TVs using External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs) has been developed. The brightness was $450cd/m^{2}$(nit) and the luminous uniformity (max/min) was 1.3. The mechanical design of backlight was optimized and the reliability of lamps was secured. As a result, the possibility of backlight with EEFLs for large area LCD-TVs was sufficiently proved.
