The LS530 from TAIYO YUDEN (U.S.A.) INC. is the latest addition to the company’s comprehensive line of compact dc-ac inverters for driving cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) in LCD backlighting applications. The LS530 is designed for use with the Sharp 10.4-in. LQ104V1G21 liquid crystal display (LCD) used in gaming, marine electronics, medical, Point-of-Sale/kiosk, and test and measurement equipment applications.
The LS530 offers a significant power output increase for driving the latest model high-bright displays. The LS530’s 10 W of total output power—versus 7.8 W—represents a more than 20% improvement over predecessor models. Available now in OEM quantities, the LS530 provides an extremely economical, high-performance solution for driving dual LCD displays with a single compact CCFL inverter.
