Abstract

The invention provides a display device of simple construction for use an instrument display panel, e.g. on a motor vehicle, or on an indicator for use e.g. in traffic lights, railway stations and airports. A liquid crystal display is driven by known circuitry in combination with a coloured substrate 12 and is illuminated from the rear by an electroluminescent panel 14 in addition to ambient lighting from the front passing through to the rear. Fluorescent paint 13 on a transparent sheet of plastics material 12 provides a multi-coloured substrate resulting in a display device effective in all lighting conditions. In place of the electroluminescent panel a fluorescent or incandescent lamp may be used. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Display device The present invention relates to a display device.
According to the invention, there is provided a display device comprising a liquid crystal display means which is operable to be selectively transparent, fluorescent material positioned to be made selectively visible when viewed from the front of the display means as the display means is made selectively transparent and to be excited by ambient light from the front, and a light source positioned behind the display means and fluorescent material to excite the fluorescent material from behind.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the light source comprises an electroluminescent panel.
However, the light source could comprise some other form of light emitter such as an incandescant lamp or a fluorescent lamp.
The fluorescent material may be supported directly by the liquid crystal display means or the light source, but is preferably supported on a support of for example transparent plastics.
The fluorescent material is preferably fluorescent paint.
For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made by way of example to the accompanying drawing in which.
Figure 1 is an exploded view of a display device in accordance with the invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of a modification of the device of Figure 1.
Figure 1 shows by way of example only a display device intended for use in the instrument panel of a car. It comprises a liquid crystal display 1 of known construction, zones 2 to 10 of which are capble of being selectively rendered transparent. Other zones 11 are opaque permanently. As shown in the Figure, the zones are rectangular and include opaque indicia respresenting various monitored functions such as direction indicates (2), ignition (3), main beam (4), oil pressure (5),watertemperature (6) and fuel (7), whilst others are in the form of scales indicating water temperature and amount of fuel (9, 10) and a zone 8 is digital ciock display.
The zones 2 to 10 are made selectively transparent by known driver circuitry (not shown).
Atransparent plastics sheet 12 is arranged at the back of the liquid crystal display (LCD) 1. The sheet has on its face facing the LCD 1 zones 13 (only a representative sample is referenced) of differently coloured fluorescent paint. The zones 13 are in register with the zones 2 to 10 on the liquid crystal display. For instance zones 13-in register with the direction indicator zones 2 and with the clock display 8 are green (G), whilst other zones 13 are orange (0), yellow (Y) and red (R).
The fluorescent paint used may be "DAY-GLO" paint.
As the zones 2 to 10 of the liquid crystal display 1 are selectively made transparent, the coloured zones 13 on the sheet 12 become visible from the front of the display as they are excited by ambient light through the transparent zones of the display 1.
An electroluminescent panel 14 is arranged at the back of the plastics sheet 12 by suitable adhesive to excite the fluorescent paint from behind. The fluorescent paint allows light re-emitted by it from the back light panel 14 to penetrate to the front without excessive loss of colour.
The plastics sheet 12 is preferably sandwiched between the LCD 1 and the panel 14, the sheet, LCD and panel being tightly held together by a frame (not shown). It is possible to fix the sheet 12 to the LCD with adhesive and fix the panel 14 to the sheet 12 with adhesive but this might impair the display.
The electroluminescent panel 14 may be of the type energised with A.C. or of the type energised with D.C. The panel 14 may have any of the normal forms of construction, e.g. vitreous enamelled or ceramic construction, or plastic or organic form.
As an alternative to an electroluminescent panel 14, a light source as shown in Figure 2 may be used.
Such a light source comprises a diffusing plate 15 to be fixed to the plastics sheet 12, and a lamp 16, e.g.
an incandescent lamp or a fluorescent lamp, spaced from the plate 15. The electroluminescent panel 14 is preferred for vehicle instrument panels however as it produces a thinner, more compact display device.
Various modifications to the described display device may be made. For example, the coloured zones 13 may in principle be painted directly onto the liquid crystal display 1 rather than supported on a separate sheet 12 although in practice there could be difficulties in screening, or painted onto the electroluminescent panel 14 or onto the diffusing plate 15, although there could be a loss in efficiency.
Although the invention has been described in relation to an instrument panel display for a car, it is applicable also to destination boards in railway stations and airports, and to traffic signs for example. In general, the invention is useful where ambient light conditions may vary from full daylight to complete darkness.
CLAIMS (filed on 12th Feb 1982) 1. A display device comprising a liquid crystal display which is operable to be selectively transparent, fluorescent material positioned to be made selectively visible when viewed from the front of the display as the display is made selectively transparent and to be excited by ambient light from the front, and a light source positioned behind the display and fluorescent material to excite the fluorescent material from behind.
2. A display device according to Claim 1 wherein the fluorescent material is supported on a support made of transparent plastics material.
3. A display device according to Claim 2 wherein the fluorescent material is applied to the plastics support material in the form of fluorescent paint.
4. A display device according to Claim 1 wherein the fluorescent material is fluorescent paint applied directly to the liquid crystal display.
5. A display device according to any preceding claim wherein the light source is an electroluminescent panel.
