miniature lamps are typically a multiple bend lamp configuration
used to backlight a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A laptop computer
screen is the best known common example of an LCD display. Displays
similar to this are used throughout industry to show information

on the edge of an LCD display or directly behind it with a backplate
to reflect illumination through the LCD. The application and use
environment help determine the lamp's shape, size and power. Typically
miniature lamps are multi-bend in shape and are usually from 6mm
to 18mm in outside diameter (O.D.).

miniature lamps replace multiple lamp designs with more efficient,

to further reduce the cost of your unit. (See Lamp Sub-Assemblies)
