Abstract
When considering the operating conditions of an aerospace flight deck, avionics displays have extremely stringent requirements. To comply with this environment, LCD Lighting, Inc. has recently introduced new fluorescent lamp technology that improves the overall performance of AMLCD backlights. This advancement, called Ultra-BrightTM, permits AMLCDs to consistently meet the demanding standards of the avionics display industry. In this paper, we will review fluorescent lamp construction, operating principles and physics, and then describe our recent innovation that has notably enhanced fluorescent lamp performance.
