Woven Fiber Optic panel with a single LED light source is said to offer manufacturers of digital pressure test gauges a practical, low-cost, easy-to-customize way to back light LCDs. Panels are said to provide bright, uniform illumination for monochrome LCDs using one 5-mm LED. Technology allows easy readability of data such as psi, °C, and other standard engineering units provided by pressure and temperature calibrators used in a variety of process control industries and operating in low- to mid-ambient-light environments. www.lumitex.com Lumitex Inc.
