Backlighting LED, Ø 3 mm Tinted Non-Diffused Package
DESCRIPTION
The TLV.420. series was developed for backlighting. Due to
its special shape the spatial distribution of the radiation is
qualified for backlighting.
To optimize the brightness of backlighting a custom-built
reflector (with scattering) is required. Uniform illumination
can be enhanced by covering the front of the reflector with
diffusor material.
This is a flexible solution for backlighting different areas.

Note
Luminous flux is tested at a current pulse duration of 25 ms and an accuracy of ± 11 %.
The above type numbers represent the order groups which include only a few brightness groups. Only one group will be shipped on each
bag (there will be no mixing of two groups in each bag).
In order to ensure availability, single brightness groups will not be orderable.
