— The replacement of conventional light sources used to backlight displays with LEDs is very attractive in avionics. Today's LED technology provides devices suitable to implement display backlight sources but specific requirements need to be satisfied for avionics displays. This paper covers the development of an innovative LED backlight dedicated to avionics displays, realized in a new box geometry in order to generate more than 10,000 cd/m 2 on a 6 × 5‐in. active area using less than 28 W of power.
