There are several decisions to be made when backlighting an LCD since the color of the display may affect the entire appearance, feel, and functioning of your application.
The display mode, whether STN vs. FSTN or Positive vs. Negative, will also affect the overall appearance of the display. The samples below show the vast range of backlight colors available.
Standard backlight options of low-power electroluminescent, high-brightness EcoBrightTM non-powered backlight by special order. LED or CFL backlights, low profile edge light options for thinner displays.
RGB Displays use three different lighting colors into a single LCD display. This allows them to be programmed to choose between three backlight colors: red, green, and blue, or to generate a custom backlight color by combining red, green, and blue for an infinite number of color combinations.
