Cree's backlighting solution, on show at the Society of Information Displays (SID) meeting in Boston this week, has a power consumption of 40 watts. Cree says that this compares with 100 watts for other LED backlighting solutions and 45 watts for CCFL-based solutions.
“Initially, LED-based backlighting solutions for larger LCD monitors and televisions were applauded for significantly improving color rendering,” says Jerry Simmons, who manages the Solid State Lighting R&D 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.”
Cree says that it will make its backlighting solution commercially available for use in LCD computer monitors and televisions by late 2005.
