Next-generation LED backlight colours with Active Reflector Technology

OMC has developed a new technology that enables a whole rainbow of new LED backlight colours to be produced, including magentas and blue-greens. Previously the only way to achieve non-standard LED colours was to use RGB colour mixing, which involves three times as many chips, complex wiring and requires drive circuitry to control the relative channel levels. The company’s new series of profiled backlights with Active Reflector Technology produces a striking range of vivid, next-generation LED backlight colours, and gives designers far greater creative choice and flexibility. Their proprietary Active Reflector Technology utilises photon wavelength upconversion to produce a wide range of rich colours and pastel shades. Their new ART series backlights are available in crimson red, rose pink, a strong red-orange, bright orange, amber yellow, pastel yellow, high brightness yellow/green, vivid green, deep green, electric green-blue, a classic rich LED blue and a strong, bright shade of magenta. ART series backlights use only one wavelength of emitter per backlight, so there is no requirement to mix multiple LED wavelengths, reducing design complexity and lowering costs.
