Abstract
In clinical tasks the display is often the natural interface between the medical system and the medical professionals and in the current image-centric healthcare the accuracy of the visualized images represents a key requirement; ideally no compromise would be acceptable. In the recent past LED backlights for liquid-crystal displays have been intensively investigated for their use in displays addressed to the mainstream markets (mobile and portable displays, computer displays and TV). Accordingly adapted, they could offer new opportunities also to the displays used in healthcare by allowing better accuracy and consistency of the medical images. In this respect they could make possible a new, important advance towards a better quality of care.In this paper we will describe a novel LED backlight solution suitable for medical imaging.
