摘要:
A white light source using solid state technology, as well as general backlight units and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that may incorporate such a white light source, are provided. The white light source described herein utilizes a monochrome light-emitting diode (LED) and a wavelength-converting layer having fluorescent materials to produce a substantially uniform broadband optical spectrum visible as white light. Being constructed on a metal substrate, the white light source may also provide for an improved heat transfer path over conventional solid state white light sources.
