Abstract
Provided are a lighting device, a backlighting device, and a display device that comprise a radiation source such as LED and wavelength converting members comprising phosphors. In one embodiment, self-absorption within the devices is suppressed or reduced by placing a selective reflector between two wavelength converting members, and the wavelength converting member emitting light with longer peak wavelength is substantially isolated from the irradiation of another wavelength converting member emitting light with shorter peak wavelength. In other embodiments, the wavelength converting members are arranged in strip configuration; or in adjacent hexagons configuration.
