LEDx3
$12.00 - $13.50
an ASM Electronics and kitsch-bent project, these are LED backlights for the nintendo game boy DMG console.†
there are two variations of this backlight, variants A (va) and B (vb). both are RoHS compliant.
both variations have the following features:- 3 LEDs for uniform light distribution
- 1.4mm thickness (no need to trim component's legs underneath the panel)
- installation to a regulated power source (consistent brightness/no dimming)
- resistors specific to the LED color, not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, to maximize brightness
- 7 available colors: red, green, blue, yellow, orange, pink, and white
- available in either normal or inverted polarization
- RoHS compliant
- wavelengths
- red: 620-625nm
- green: 510-520nm
- blue: 465-470nm
- yellow: 587-595nm
- orange: 600-605nm
- side-illumination (left side, looking at gameboy)
- installation documentation:
- the kit contains:
- high-quality LED panel
- resistor
- shrink-wrap tubing
- LCD-quality polarization film
- bottom-illumination
- one part (everything is built-in)
- reinforced hookup wire solder joints
- hookup wire's insulation matches backlight color
- built-in resistor
- built-in polarization film
- installation documentation:
- the kit contains:
- high-quality LED panel (an all-in-one part)
IMPORTANT! both backlight variations install slightly different than other kits that are available and from each other. please read the documentation before your order, and especially before doing your installation ;)
† this product is designed and supported for the DMG. we are often asked if these will work with the MGB console (the pocket), and the answer is: yes they will, with some slight modifications. VG console modder arfink did a tutorial illustrating how this is done with a 'variant A' backlight. be warned, the pocket's LCD screen is very fragile, more so than that of the DMG. keep this in mind when removing the polarization film. also, the pocket's LCD reacts oppositely to the polarization film you add from the kit. if you want your screen to look 'normal' you will need inverted film. for the screen to look 'inverted' please order a kit with normal film.
