    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a backlight unit. The backlight unit may include a printed circuit board, a plurality of light-emitting diodes mounted on the printed circuit board, at least one light spreading layer formed over the printed circuit board that spreads light received from the plurality of light-emitting diodes, a partially reflective layer formed over the at least one light spreading layer, a color conversion layer formed over the partially reflective layer, a collimating layer formed over the color conversion layer, a brightness enhancement film formed over the collimating layer, and a diffuser formed over the brightness enhancement film. The at least one light spreading layer may include two light spreading layers with elongated protrusions that are rotated relative to each other.

    Abstract: An array of pixels in a display may be illuminated by a backlight having an array of light sources such as light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a printed circuit. A reflector may be formed on the printed circuit to help reflect light from the light-emitting diodes upwards through the pixels. The reflector may include two white ink layers. Multifunctional layers and other optical films may be incorporated into the backlight. These layers may include diffusers, microlens array layers, thin-film interference filters, phosphor layers, light-collimating layers, and reflective polarizers.
