    摘要: Backlights containing low profile, side-emitting LEDs are described that have improved brightness uniformity. In one embodiment, the backlight comprises a solid transparent lightguide with a plurality of openings in a bottom surface of the lightguide, each opening containing a side-emitting LED. Prisms or other optical features are formed in the top wall of each opening to reflect light in the lightguide towards a light output surface of the lightguide so that the side-emitting LEDs do not appear as dark spots at the output of the backlight. To avoid any direct emission from the sides of the LED toward the output surface of the lightguide appearing as bright areas, optical features are formed at the edges of the opening or in the output surface of the lightguide so that direct emission light is not output from the lightguide. Substantially identical cells may be formed in the lightguide using cellular walls around one or more LEDs.

    摘要: A backlight for a color LCD includes white light LEDs formed using a blue LED die with a layer of red and green phosphors over it. The attenuation by the LCD layers of the blue light component of the white light is typically greater as the blue wavelength becomes shorter. In order to achieve a uniform blue color component across the surface of an LCD screen and achieve uniform light output from one LCD to another, the blue light leakage of the phosphor layer is tailored to the dominant or peak wavelength of the blue LED die. Therefore, the white points of the various white light LEDs in a backlight should not match when blue LED dies having different dominant or peak wavelengths are used in the backlight. The different leakage amounts through the tailored phosphor layers offset the attenuation vs. wavelength of the LCD layers.

    摘要: In an LCD, a backlight having red, green, and blue LEDs is controlled to generate monochromatic light (e,g., blue) during a portion of a cycle, such as an image frame cycle. During another portion of the cycle, all the LEDs are illuminated to create white light. The color filter in the LCD panel contains, for each white pixel, a first color (e.g., red) subpixel filter, a second color (e.g., green) subpixel filter, and a clear subpixel area for passing white light and the monochromatic. The liquid crystal layer shutters are controlled to pass from 0-100% of the light for their associated subpixels to create a color image. With proper control of the shutters, any desired color of each white pixel can be achieved during the cycle. By converting one color filter to a clear area, the transmission efficiency of the display is greatly increased.

    摘要: A substantially hemispherical lens surrounding an LED die is described that creates a sparkle as an observer views the lens from different angles. The lens is formed of an interconnected array of 100-10,000 or more lenslets. Each lenslet focuses an image of the LED die at an output of the lenslet such that the LED die image area at the output is less than 1/9 the area of the LED die to create a substantially point source image of the LED die at an outer surface of the lens. When the LED die is energized, the shape of each lenslet causes point source images of the LED die to be perceived by an observer at various viewing angles, such that the emitted LED light appears to sparkle and speckle as the observer moves relative to the lens.

    摘要: Amber light LEDs have a higher luminance than red light LEDs. A vast majority of images displayed on television consists of colors that can be created using amber, green and blue components, with only a small percentage of red. In one embodiment of the present invention, the typically red primary light source in a projection display system is augmented with an amber light source. Green and blue primary light sources are also provided. All the light sources are high power LEDs. The particular mixture of the red and amber light is accomplished by varying the duty cycles of the red LEDs and the amber LEDs. If the RGB image to be displayed can be created using a higher percentage of amber light and a lower percentage of red light, the duty cycle of the amber LEDs is increased while the duty cycle of the red LEDs is decreased. Light/pixel modulators for creating the full color image from the three primary light sources are controlled to compensate for the variable amber/red mixture. This technique improves the efficiency of the projection system and generates less heat. A further increase in luminance can be achieved by controlling the light mixture from green and cyan LEDs as a primary light source and/or by controlling the light mixture from blue and blue-cyan LEDs as a primary light source.
