What led up to it:
Beginning 2014 I was asked by some members of the german Game Boy vintage szene wether I could create a backlight for the Game Boy classic.
It came out pretty clear that it should be a LED-backlight with improved features compared to already existing LED-backlights.
After 1/2 a year design, probing and changing a new LED-backlight was created that has a better homogenity of light distribution over the backlighted area, lesser brightness in general for a better contrast (higher brightness is not always better!), and quite less current consumption.
To offer a complete set, a biversion-board was created, too and a polarizing film.
