Abstract
The present invention discloses a display module using blue-ray or ultraviolet-ray light sources to excite RGB fluorescent powders to emit light, which comprises a light guide plate, at least one blue-ray or ultraviolet-ray light source, a diffuser plate, a liquid crystal layer and a fluorescent-powder excited layer. The blue-ray or ultraviolet-ray light sources emit a short-wavelength light with the wavelength ranging from 360 to 460 nm; the light guide plate will guide the short-wavelength light to the diffuser plate; the diffuser plate will further diffuse the short-wavelength light; the diffused short-wavelength light will pass through the liquid crystal layer and reach the fluorescent-powder excited layer where the short-wavelength light excites the fluorescent powder to emit light. The excited layer has multiple grids where RGB fluorescent elements are disposed, and each grid has only one single-color fluorescent element. The liquid crystal layer can determine whether the short-wavelength light diffused by the diffuser plate is allowed to pass through a specified grid to excite the fluorescent element to emit light. The present invention combines the advantages of low voltage as in LCD and high brightness as in self-lighting PDP, and the present invention has the benefits of higher brightness, less light loss, and reduced cost.
