“…Backlighting is an important issue with LCDs and even more important for HMD designs based on LCDs. In general, backlights must be efficient (> 40 lumens/watt), produce high luminance (> 20,000 fL) (critical due to the pore through-put of LCDs), have high luminance uniformity (< 20% variation), have long life (>30,000 hours), and have a wide dimming range (> 5OOO:l) (Allen et al, 1995). Research is ongoing to achieve and/or exceed these requirements for military aviation applications (Altadonna, 1996;Jiang, 1996;Kalmanask and Sundraresan, 1996).…”

Abstract— A high‐intensity backlight for use with large LCD panels has been developed. It supports the performance and environmental requirements of a display intended for outdoor applications. This backlight technology uses an inductively coupled electrodeless fluorescent lamp with a lifetime of 100,000 hours, instant starting at −40°C and a stable light output over a temperature span of 70°C. The backlight design has been optimized for luminance uniformity and efficiency within a display depth of 6 in. A 21.3‐in. LCD monitor, using this backlight technology, provides an image brightness of 2000 cd/m2 from a single 150‐W lamp.
