When you work at Tektronix and they make a difficult to refuse offer for their ‘scopes, you obviously grab it. Even if the only one you can afford is the not-so-awesome TDS1012. [Jason Milldrum] got ...

As lighting topologies have advanced, backlighting technologies have evolved to keep pace. At one time, cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) were the dominant technology for backlighting ...

Backlighting in portable device displays has historically used cold cathode-fluorescent (CCFL) tubes which are difficult to power. The tubes run on alternating current (AC) and need a large initial ...

Japan’s Sanken Electric has developed a new type of cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight for LCD TVs that’s as power-efficient as LED backlights but is supposedly up to 60% cheaper to ...
