    This type of switch are usually composed of a housing, a spring, and a slider, and sometimes other parts such as a separate tactile leaf or clickbar. Cherry MX switch contacts. At rest, the metal contacts inside of the switch are held apart. As the switch is pressed down, the contacts are held together to conduct current for actuation.

    Many variations on this theme have been created and marketed. "Touch-plate" devices can be operated by touching or merely waving a hand near the switch. Touch switches have no moving parts and electronically switch the light circuit. As of 1986 these remain specialty items. Electronic switches provide flexibility in terms of different ...

    These cams would actuate switches to turn on the lights in sequence. Later Ford cars and the 1969 Imperial used a transistorised control module with no moving parts to wear, break, or go out of adjustment. FMVSS 108 has been officially interpreted as requiring all light sources in an active turn signal to illuminate simultaneously.

    18 parallel CCFLs as backlight for an LCD TV LCD with edge-lit CCFL backlight For several years (until about 2010), the preferred backlight for matrix-addressed large LCD panels such as in monitors and TVs was based on a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) by using two CCFLs at opposite edges of the LCD or by an array of CCFLs behind the LCD ...

  6. LED-backlit LCD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD

    An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.

  7. LED strip light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_strip_light

    This strategy rapidly switches the LEDs on and off many times per second by changing the voltage from zero to the designed value in an "on-off" fashion. [9] The LED sees its drive as a square wave . The relative width of the on and off portions of the square wave can be varied so that the LEDs are on or off for relatively more or less time to ...

    Transflective LCDs combine the features of a backlit transmissive display and a reflective display. The common implementations of LCD backlight technology are: 18 parallel CCFLs as backlight for a 42-inch (106 cm) LCD TV. WLED array: The LCD panel is lit by a full array of white LEDs placed behind a diffuser behind the panel.

  9. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    LEDs without phosphor, while a poorer solution for general lighting, are the best solution for displays, either backlight of LCD, or direct LED based pixels. Dimming a multicolor LED source to match the characteristics of incandescent lamps is difficult because manufacturing variations, age, and temperature change the actual color value output.
