The holy grail of white LED backlighting for displays is in designing the best method to illuminate a large area by disseminating the LED light source uniformly eliminating hot spots and minimizing darker areas all the while keeping the parts cost down and ensuring that the final assembly is quick and easy.

LEDs are easier to use and have a longer life cycle (50,000 hrs. Max) to half life and run on less DC power eliminating the need for external inverters to power them but are still able to be dimmed and have a wider temperature range.

Vertex LCD has perfected edge backlighting techniques with proprietary arrangements of the LEDs with light guides that can provide enhanced brightness, better colors in the Vertex True Thin Form Factor T ² F ².
