The BX Series of edge-lit backlights provides a highly diffuse source of illumination, packed within a thin and thermally efficient housing. These backlights can be configured with or without the addition of a polarization film. For applications requiring refined edge clarity when imaging object silhouettes, Ai’s CX Edge-lit Backlights offers similar features to the BX Series, plus a built-in edge enhancing collimation film for enhanced precision.

While the BX Series is a great choice for many applications, it’s important to note that uniformity may decrease when configuring units larger than 16″ x 16″. For applications requiring consistent, high-output uniformity across larger areas, we recommend our BL2 Series of back-lit backlights, which maintain their uniformity regardless of size.

Change Notification Summary

Advanced Illumination (Ai) will be discontinuing the sale of BXXXYY, CXXXYY and FXXXYY Backlights on October 31, 2024, and will be recommending the new BX2 Series to replace BX and CX, and FX2 as a replacement for the FX. The BX2 and FX2 Series provides an improvement in light output, structural rigidity, emitting window uniformity, and efficiency, at no additional cost over the original BX, CX and FX designs. In addition the measurement system will be changing from imperial to metric, so a BX0404 will be replaced with BX2-100100.

Please contact your Ai Sales Representative if you have any questions.
