I use 5050s on the NephRings, they work great for edge lighting. |

Do you have any suggestions. Specifically, I want to alternate colors. See my led taito thread in project announcements |

I want to see if I can use them to replace a back-light in a 21" 4:3 LCD monitor. It's an old monitor with a low resolution and parts are non-existent for it. so if my backlight experiment fails I still have a strip of led lights to play with. :) --- End quote --- It can be done. I have a 4:3 that's also slated to get the LED treatment. Unfortunately the inner shielding appears to be spotted welded together with tank armor. But I digress, here are a few articles on the topic using various techniques. http://www.keithwakeham.com/lcd.htm http://mycorner.no-ip.org/misc/ledback/index.html http://filear.com/dnn/Home/tabid/41/EntryId/50/Repairing-broken-LCD-screen-backlight-with-LEDs.aspx http://hackaday.com/2011/03/04/led-backlight-conversion-using-recycled-ccfl-inverter-parts/ http://blog.allgaiershops.com/2011/03/04/its-alive/ I can't advise you on the best way to proceed though. There are tons of articles in addition to the above attacking the problem from all angles. Enjoy. |
