Abstract— A mercury‐free backlight in which Xe‐type small‐diameter CFLs were installed has been developed. The backlight is 7 in. wide and 10 mm thick. The luminance of this backlight is 6000 cd/m 2 at 6.5 W, the light‐output stability time is within 1 sec, and the dimming capability is from 100% to 1% over a wide temperature range. Therefore, it is suitable for an automotive‐navigation display.
