"LED-based solutions for televisions were applauded initially for significantly improving color rendering," said Jerry Simmons, who manages the solid-state lighting program at Sandia National Laboratories.
"It's now clear that energy savings can also be significant if the backlighting system is designed for high energy efficiency," added Simmons.
Cree claims that its backlight has a power consumption of only 40 W, compared with 100 W for similar LED solutions and 45 W for traditional cold-cathode backlights that are used in todays LCD displays.
The company, which is demonstrating the system privately at the Society for Information Display (SID) show in Boston this week, plans to make it available commercially by late 2005.
