Hello everybody!
When looking through the CFAG240128LYYHTZ datasheet, I came across backlight specs. According to the spec ILED is 900mA typical and 1350mA maximum. That's seems awfully high! Is this correct? Why is it so high? I checked other displays in the same category and they all have lower currents. Can anyone confirm this?
I did some calculations and it turned out that if I want to power the backlight through 12V that I would need R=(12-4.2) / 0.9 = 8.6 ohms ... and P = 7.02W ! That's awfuly big! If I want to use car's 12V that would be even trickier since the voltage there is around 14,2V!
Are there any other suggestions? How exactly should I limit such current ?
Thanks!
