Poly-Optical uses either Woven
or Uniglo panels (see Fiber Optic Technology Page for a detailed
description) to create this thin, pliable backlight.
In applications involving keypads, Lumitex can be used under
either the keypads or the switch layers. The intensity is
high enough to provide superior illumination through all switch
and keypad layers.
An LED is the most common light source. A single LED can
illuminate up to 4.0" wide.and 10" long.
Wider panels require multiple LED's. Any T1-3/4 (5mm) round
LED can be used and the panels can be customized to accept T-1
(3mm) round LED's. Lumitex carries 5 standard LED's which
are optimized to this product. They are White, Green, Blue,
Amber and Red.
Fiber Optic Panels can also be lit with incandescant and higher
wattage halogen sources for additional brightness. |
