Say hello to the new 1.5mm module! These backlights now feature SMT LEDs and two flexible wires in place of the former thru-hole LEDs with pins. This means your backlight is even easier to install than before! Simply run the red wire to the resistor, and the black wire to where your power indicator LED was previously. See the
SMT tutorial for more info on installation.
NOTE: Please do not remove the front polarizing film from your LCD during the backlighting process unless you have a
new piece to replace it with. If you remove this film you will not be able to see the text on your LCD!
Pictures of the new panels, along with the old panels and various customized builds can be seen at the
gallery. Available in cyan, red, pink, green, and orange.
you may notice some colors missing! That's because we've stopped producing V1.0 panels in favor of the higher quality V2.0 panels. If you are after a color that you don't see here, check the
V2.0 Panels out.

1 - backlight module
1 - 2" x 2" square of polarized film
