Why do customers choose a EL backlight over a LED? The LED backlight comes with a ½ life of 50K hours, while the EL’s half life is closer to 3K hours?
LED backlights are the most popular option when backlighting is needed. The disadvantage of LED is that there are hot and cold spots. That is areas where the backlight is very bright and other areas where the light fades away.
EL backlight provides a more even flow of light with the added advantage of being thinner. The thickness of a character LCD module display with EL backlight could be as much as 8mm thinner then a LED.

Very nice, I really liked it. Is there somewhere I can check out more about it?
Good afternoon.
There is not too much information on EL backlights. They are becoming less and less popular.
They have a nice even flow of light, but they require an inverter on your PCB.
Thank you
