Normally they're tucked behind the LCD and shine white light from below. Here, we've got the LEDs available individually and they're really cool!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach LED is encased in a\u003cstrong\u003e 3.5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thick strip of a acrylic. The acrylic strip is a special type that is very good at diffusing light, so even though there is only one single white LED, it provides near-uniform lighting. The other flat side of the strip has a \u003cstrong\u003ereflector \u003c\/strong\u003eon it so you only get light from the top (otherwise the backlight would lose 1\/2 the brightness unnecessarily).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can treat this backlight just like an LED, light with \u003cstrong\u003e~3V at 20mA\u003c\/strong\u003e current and you get a pretty shape that you can mask with vinyl or draw over with a marker. You will need a resistor in series like any other LED, to set the max current. Gels can be used to change the colour. We think these would make great wearables without the need for EL or inverters, they're much brighter than EL and use less battery. The trade-off is these are not flexible at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular backlight has a \u003cstrong\u003e23mm x 75mm\u003c\/strong\u003e lit area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/djRJJKMyzC0?si=Rgq5FK0W4U9x1f4H\u0026amp;start=256\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual LED backlight panel salvaged from LCD displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle white LED housed in 3.5mm thick acrylic strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiffused light provides even brightness across entire surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective backing directs light upward, minimising waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit area measures 23mm × 75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates at 3V, 20mA with current-limiting resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid construction suitable for wearables, props and displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignificantly brighter than EL wire alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower power consumption than EL solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with vinyl stickers, markers and colour gels for customisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo inverter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 107.5mm x 22.6mm x 2.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.6g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x White LED Backlight Module - Medium 23mm x 75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52217199132960,"sku":"dvj1787257225669","price":1.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/3231\/3120\/files\/white-led-backlight-module---medium-23mm-x-75mm_1.jpg?v=1787257230","url":"https:\/\/www.elmwoodbasket.shop\/products\/white-led-backlight-module-medium-23mm-x-75mm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
