Longer Life - Durable fiber optic panel never needs replacement.  Remote light source offers 10,000 to 100,000 hours life and easy replacement. 

Lower Power - Sources require less power than EL, CCFL, or LED Array and no inverter.  As low as 10-20mA at 2vdc 

Compact Size - Panels are thin and sources are smaller than EL or CCFL inverters. 

Heat/EMI Free - Fiber optic panel adds no heat or EMI to interfere with switch operation 

Durable - Optical Fibers are not affected by extremes in humidity (0% to 100%) and temperature (-40 to +85 deg C) 

Very Low Startup Costs - Minimal Engineering charge and usually no tooling.  Low prototyping cost with no minimums. 

Design Flexibility - Fiber Optic technology allows designers to solve unique problems. 

Thin, Low Profile - Typical construction is 0.068 inches thick (1.7 mm).  Thinner constructions are available. 

Reduced Assembly and Maintenance - Simply apply panel in between circuit board and LCD glass. Fiber Optic panel doesn't need replacing, long life light sources are easily replaceable.

EL Brightness without the degradation. 
30 Ft-L and more in many applications!
