Abstract
The discovery of high brightness (white) light emitting diode (LED) is considered as a real threat to the current lighting industry in various applications. One of the most promising sectors would be using white LED to replace the current Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light (CCFL) technology as the backlight of the large screen Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen due to the fact that LCD is a rapidly booming market.
