Frequently Asked Questions — FALD & Flare

What is Full Array Local Dimming (FALD)?

Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) is a backlighting method where an LCD display's LED backlight is divided into independently controlled zones. Each zone can dim or brighten based on the content being displayed, resulting in deeper blacks, higher contrast ratios, and lower power consumption compared to edge-lit or standard direct-lit backlights.

What is Display Logic's Flare FALD technology?

Flare is Display Logic USA's proprietary Full Array Local Dimming product — Full Local Array RGB Enhancement. Flare delivers higher contrast, higher brightness, and lower power consumption for industrial, medical, broadcast, and outdoor display applications. It is engineered for commercial and rugged environments, not consumer electronics.

How does FALD differ from edge-lit LCD backlighting?

Edge-lit LCD backlights place LEDs along the display perimeter and diffuse light across the panel — the entire backlight dims or brightens as one unit. Full Array Local Dimming places LED arrays directly behind the full panel area and dims each zone independently, achieving contrast ratios 10x or more higher than edge-lit at equivalent brightness levels.

What are the advantages of FALD over standard LCD backlighting?

FALD advantages include: (1) Higher contrast ratio — dark areas use less backlight power while bright areas maintain full output; (2) Higher effective brightness in bright zones without raising overall power; (3) Lower power consumption — zones not in use dim automatically; (4) Better HDR performance for HDR10 and HLG content rendering.

What applications use Full Array Local Dimming displays?

Full Array Local Dimming displays are used in broadcast monitoring, medical imaging workstations, outdoor digital signage, industrial HMI panels in dark environments, and navigation displays in aviation and marine applications.
