The inverter is part of a laptop's display assembly. Also known as inverter board, screen inverter or LCD inverter, the device is a small green board attached to the base of the LCD panel. In a laptop computer, the LCD screen relies on a backlight source to uniformly light up the screen, and the inverter acts as the power supply for this lighting source.
