Question

Early LCD backlights use _______________ technology, popular for its low power use, even brightness, and long life.

Answer 1

Answer:

cold cathode fluorescent lamp

Explanation:

A cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) is a lighting system that uses two phenomena: electron discharge and fluorescence.

CCFLs are mainly used as light sources for backlights, since they are compact and durable than ordinary fluorescent lamps. They exhibit a wide range of brightness and color (color temperature and chromaticity) that can be achieved by varying the pressure and type of the material injected into the glass tube. The thickness and type of the phosphor used to coat the inner wall of the tube also plays a role in altering the color and brightness.
