Eizo Nanao Corp announced the “Eizo FlexScan EV2411W-H” 24.1-inch LCD monitor that uses white LEDs as its backlight source. The new product adopts an edge type backlight system, in which lamps are positioned on both the top and bottom sides of an LCD panel. A total of 160 white LEDs are used with 80 LEDs of them positioned on each side.
The monitor also features an “Auto EcoView” function that automatically adjusts the backlight’s luminance in accordance with the external brightness detected by the luminance sensor equipped on the bottom of the monitor. Through the adoption of the LED backlight system and the luminance sensor, the company succeeded in realizing nearly a 28% reduction in power consumption compared with the previous model, the “EIZO FlexScan S2401W,” which uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight system, Nanao said.
