title: LED backlight designs with the flow-line method creator: Grabovičkić, Dejan creator: Benitez Gimenez, Pablo creator: Miñano Dominguez, Juan Carlos creator: Chaves, Julio subject: Optics description: An LED backlight has been designed using the flow-line design method. This method allows a very efficient control of the light extraction. The light is confined inside the guide by total internal reflection, being extracted only by specially calculated surfaces: the ejectors. Backlight designs presented here have a total optical efficiency of up to 80% (including Fresnel and absorption losses) with an FWHM below 30 degrees. The experimental results of the first prototype are shown. rights: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ date: 2012 type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article type: Article source: Optics Express, ISSN 1094-4087, 2012, Vol. 20, No. 1 type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: eng relation: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/abstract.cfm?uri=oe-20-S1-A62 rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess relation: info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1364/OE.20.000A62 identifier: https://oa.upm.es/15646/
