The UniGlo® Optima™ fiber optic backlight offers a high brightness of 30+ Ft-L and more, depending on panel design and configuration. The Optima technology is twice the brightness of the company's standard UniGlo® fiber optic panels—with much improved light uniformity across the panel. The panels are exceptionally thin (as low as 0.013 in.)—as thin as electroluminescent (EL) panels, but without the degradation in brightness common to EL.
