Abstract
A backlighted liquid crystal display (LCD) assembly has a thin phosphorescent layer positioned between the display and the light source to provide an even distribution of light intensity across the viewing surface of the display. The phosphorescent layer includes a phosphor powder mixed into a resin. The mixture is molded into a thin sheet and then cut to size. The phosphorescent layer and an optional disiccant layer may be encapsulated between sheets of acrylic film. The phosphorescent layer may also include a phosphorescent coating that is applied to the rear surface of the LCD or to the front surface of the light source.
