A photoluminescent liquid crystal display includes a lower substrate and an upper substrate disposed apart from each other opposite each other, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the lower and upper substrates, a backlight unit disposed under the lower substrate and emitting blue light, a phosphor layer disposed on the upper substrate and excited by the blue light and a color filter layer disposed on the phosphor layer and limiting excitement of the red and green phosphors by ambient light. The phosphor layer includes a red phosphor disposed in a red pixel region and a green phosphor disposed in a green pixel region. The color filter layer includes an R filter disposed on the red phosphor and a green filter disposed on the green phosphor.
