In the thesis, we study the luminance management of LCD backlights based on LED lighting. First, we study the characteristics of the LCD and the backlight module. Then we study LEDs in different colors. The third step is to calculate the required total flux of the backlight module based on photometry theory, and thus we calculate the numbers of the light source. Finally, we simulate the uniformity of the backlight module with precise LED model. Based on the luminance management of the LCD backlight, we fabricate two LED backlight module. One is 28’’ LCD TV with white-light LEDs, and the other is 42’’ LCD TV with RGB LEDs. The performance of both panels are presented and analyzed.
