Re: [DIYbio] Gel translumination guide for diyers

Wow, $3.45 is a damn nice price for that iPhone backlight! Is that just LEDs with a diffuser?

Avery - all the LED options you tried will look 100% better with a decent diffuser as well. Here's some option in Inventables - there's probably cheaper sources to be found too:

You might try one of these instead of the cellphone:

Without the LCD and polarizer in the way, it should be much brighter.

And for three and a half bucks, the price is right.

Nice and thin, even illumination. Use a blue gel filter if you really need just blue light.

As you guys probably know, I have been working on a super low cost gel system.   As part of my research on the box, I tested as many types of gel illumination as I could afford.   Among the tech used were:

1W blue led

8x8 rgb led matrix

12 v blue led strip (intended for cars)

3x4 blue led matrix

4x4 electroluminescent Panel

Cell phone screen (samsumg Galaxy note ii)

Computer screen (dell e6410)

2x regular (through hole) LEDs.

I have written up my findings and comparisons on my blog, here.  I is quite image heavy.
