Summary

Steps to minimize backlight bleed and light leakage on Intel X15 NUC laptop.

Description

I'm seeing backlight bleeding along the edges and corners of a display when viewing dark screens in low light condition.

Resolution

Intel® X15 laptop products screen uses IPS panels.

Backlight bleeding is caused by the unique Liquid Crystal (L/C) alignment that is used in IPS panels. IPS monitors consist of multiple layers that are meticulously superimposed at different angles. Slight deviations in the layering can cause pressure inside the display that can slightly displace the liquid crystals. As a result, more light can penetrate in some places than in others. The resulting light areas are what is referred to as backlight bleeding, it is not technically possible to exclude bleeding one hundred percent.

Backlight bleeding cannot be completely eliminated. But you can try the follow steps to minimize the light leakage effect.

  1. Adjust the brightness of your display down.
  2. Increase the light level in the room you are using the display in.
  3. Use light colored backgrounds and application themes.
