As LED [<b>L<\/b>ight <b>E<\/b>mitting <b>D<\/b>iode] screens don&#8217;t need the high voltages as of a cathode lamp, and LEDs require a DC voltage, the LED screens do not use the inverter.<\/p>\n<p>So,<\/p>\n<p><b>LED SCREENS DO NOT COME OR USE POWER INVERTERS.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>That leaves us with the CCFL (<b>C<\/b>old <b>C<\/b>athode <b>F<\/b>luorescent <b>L<\/b>ight) backlight type screens.<\/p>\n<p>The only company that uses screens that have an inverter attached to the LCD is Dell. Normally, the inverter will be held by two screws; however, in some cases, instead of screws, a double-sided tape is utilized.<\/p>\n<p>Note: not ALL CCFL screens for Dell will have an inverter attached to the LCD. The easiest way to tell if the screen comes with an inverter is to look at the picture of the screen. For example, on a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/English\/model\/Dell\/LATITUDE%20D620\/\">Dell Latitude D620<\/a>, all screens come with an inverter attached to the bottom of the LCD.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/img\/screens\/1000\/LP141WX1_TL04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dell screen with an attached inverter<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 507px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/img\/screens\/1000\/LTN156AT01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"284\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dell screen that does not have an inverter attached<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/English\/model\/Dell\/VOSTRO%201720\/\">Dell Vostro 1720<\/a>, the CCFL screens do not come with inverters.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime you are uncertain about the screen specifics, make sure to contact our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/English\/section\/contact-us\/\">support department<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-748\" src=\"http:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/screens_and_inverters_2.jpg\" alt=\"screens_and_inverters_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/screens_and_inverters_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/screens_and_inverters_2-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/screens_and_inverters_2-624x393.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color:grey\" href=\"#\" itemprop=\"author\">Copyright (&copy;) LaptopScreen.com <\/a><\/p>    <div class=\"likes-block sd-sharing-enabled\">\n        <div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n            <h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"sd-content\">\n            <iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https:\/\/www.laptopscreen.com\/blog\/does-my-screen-come-with-an-inverter\/&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;width=90&amp;show_faces=false&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;action=like&amp;height=21\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:21px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inverter is a pen-sized board that is usually placed on the bottom of the LCD screen, either in the same case with the LCD screen, or above the keyboard.
