LCD module backlight identification

What type of backlight is this? Where to buy replacement?

[TheMG]

Electroluminescent (EL).

Pretty much obsolete nowadays due to LED backlights.

Keep in mind these EL backlights run from high voltage AC, so a LED retrofit would require removal/bypassing of the high voltage EL driver circuit.

Thanks for the information!

There are companies throughout the world that still make these things.
You don't reveal where you live.

By "these are not high voltage devices" you are referring to the  EL-Replacements website linked above or i did not understand you correctly?
They seem to me like a direct replacement.
Thanks

There are similar looking LED backlights from the same company.
