Applied Concepts specializes in Sunlight Readable LED backlit LCD panels ranging in size from 6.4” to 20.1” diagonal. These solutions are edge-lit LED systems, utilizing the latest in High Bright LED (HBLED) technology. When coupled with ACI’s patent-pending I-DRIVE™ LED drivers, these solutions offer improved efficiency and superior thermal management to illuminate LCD displays with more brightness and/or less power than traditional CCFL approaches.


Features of the Applied Concepts High Bright LED Displays include:
Performance:
- Superior electrical to light efficiency allows our LED backlit LCDs to provide sunlight readability while consuming significantly less power than the stock CCFL backlit panels.
- Each LED backlit display is matched with our I-DRIVE™ LED drivers with our patented mixed-mode dimming operation, for stable low end dimming and ultra wide dimming ranges, minimum 10,000:1.
- LED backlights provide improved shock & vibration and improved brightness uniformity over CCFL backlights.
- NVIS compatible solutions available.
Reliability:
- ACI's LED rail design allows for open or short of one or more LEDs without affecting the rest of the LED’s in the rail, which is a must for mission critical displays.
- ACI's thermally efficient designs enhance the long life characteristics of the high bright LEDs. Projected lifetime of our LED backlights exceeds 75,000 hours.
- RoHS versions available
Convenience:
- LED solutions are based on standard industrial LCDs from many manufacturers such as NEC, Sharp, Optrex, AUO and Chi Mei, however, solutions can be adapted to panels from other manufacturers too. Various panel resolutions are available including VGA, SVGA, XGA, and wide formats.
- LCD display stock optics are retained and LED backlight equipped display outlines are identical to the standard CCFL equipped displays, making ACI's LED backlit LCDs suitable for both new and retrofit installations.
- ACI can coordinate additional display enhancements such as optical bonding and touchscreens. To learn more about these options, click here.

LED Drivers & Cables for Factory LED backlit LCDs
Many LCD manufacturers are now selling LCDs that come from their factories already equipped with LED backlights, and Applied Concepts offers a full line-up of our I-DRIVE™ LED drivers and cable assemblies to support these panels.
ACI's I-Lite™ family of LED drivers are recommended for many of these panels. I-Lite™ features a maximum intensity selector switch which allows the user to choose from four maximum output current settings. This permits the user to tailor the driver to various LED panels and configurations.
