Series production launched of 7.5 inch LCD screen with LED backlight solution

Kyocera's LCDs with LED backlighting are mercury-free and offer a significant benefit to the environment. Environmentally friendly LCDs for industrial applications play a major role in Kyocera's liquid crystal business. By integrating the company's technical expertise in LCDs with the excellent performance properties of LEDs, Kyocera developed and commercialized LCDs with LED backlighting, which are now available in sizes ranging from 4.7 inch to 7.5 inch – either with or without a constant current circuit to drive the LED backlight.

The LED backlight solution does not only meet Kyocera’s claim for ecological products but also contributes to an increased reliability: The on-chip LEDs offer improved vibration and shock resistance over CCFLs (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), which incorporate glass tubes.

The LED backlight solution of the 7.5 inch LCD allows luminance to be controlled.  A "low luminance" mode is possible for operating environments with low ambient lighting, which reduces power consumption and extend battery life.

LCDs with LED backlighting require no inverters, which are essential in CCFLs.  No high-voltage power source is required, making it easier to obtain safety standard certification.  In addition, since there is no interfere, the need for EMI (electromagnetic influence) suppression is greatly reduced or eliminated.

CCFLs require considerable time to turn "on" in low temperature conditions.  LEDs offer much faster starting up performance in these environments.
