Abstract

See full text

A back-lighted color LCD display is formed by placing a single matrix of liquid crystal devices (LCDs) over a bank of red, green and blue fluorescent lamps. The LCD matrix is operated to sequentially form separate red, green and blue images synchronous with the illumination of the respective red, green and blue lamps. The flashing of the sequential red, green and blue images is perceived as a color image. The images are scanned, one line at a time, onto the LCD matrix. The bank of fluorescent lamps includes several lamps of each color which are arranged in parallel with the lines of the LCD matrix. The different lamps of each color are activated in synchronism with the scanning of the LCD matrix. Each LCD in the matrix includes a rapidly varying liquid crystal material, sandwiched between conductive plates. The electric field between the conductive plates may be controlled by a polysilicon thin-film transistor.
