the materials and construction employed, fluorescent lamps exhibit a high sensitivity to mechanical stress and vibration. Does not easily ignite in a low temperature environment Require adequate idle time in order to start and operate normally May increase the thickness of the LCD display Consumes more power Needs circuitry with wellcontrolled PWM and highvoltage across the lamps. CCFLs are driven by inverters, resulting in risks of high level Electro-Magnetic Interferences (EMI). LED BACKLIGHTING Small size, Light Weight Long life High Reliability Mechanically robust, can withstand greater shocks & vibration. LEDs backlight enhance control with full brightness at temperatures as low as -400C. Have short switching time which lies in the range of nanoseconds.
Power efficient. Can be driven with much simpler control circuitry and at low voltage levels. Because LEDs do not require an inverter, EMI emissions can be reduced. Since LED can emit light if a low voltage DC power is applied, it has no necessity for a DC-AC converter. Causes no pollution(RoHS compliant) High luminance. Available in various colors LEDs offer advantages of larger color gamut due to narrow spectral characteristics
and allow easier manipulation of color. Even at end-of-life, the wearout mechanism is noncatastrophic, such as a single lamp in an array failing as opposed to loss of the entire backlight function with a CCFL product
