## Description

This diffused RGB backlight is a rigid acrylic light panel like the kind normally found behind LCD displays, but with a full-colour LED instead of a plain white backlight. The acrylic spreads the light from a single LED to give a near-uniform glow across the lit area.The flat rear side includes a reflector, so light is directed out of the top surface rather than being wasted out the back. You can mask it with vinyl or draw on it with a marker to create illuminated shapes, labels or display effects.It can be driven like a common-anode RGB LED: connect the longest pin to 3~5VDC, then connect the red, green and blue pins through suitable series resistors to ground. Each colour channel should be limited to no more than 20mA.These make a bright alternative to EL panels for wearable projects, signage and small illuminated interfaces, without needing an inverter. The trade-off is that the panel is not flexible.Specifications:Lit area: 1.7" by 3.3" (45mm x 84mm)Acrylic strip thickness: 3.3mmLED type: RGB LED variantAnode pin: Longest pinAnode supply: 3~5VDCRed, green and blue pins: Connect through resistors to groundMaximum current per colour: No more than 20mAFlexibility: Not flexible
