Abstract

본 발명은 개선된 홀로그래픽 백라이트(10) 및 액정 디스플레이 시스템(12)에 관한 것이다. 홀로그래픽 백라이트(10)는 백색광을 제공하는 냉음극 형광관(11), 상기 백색광을 수납하도록 배치된 도광관(13)을 포함한다. 위산 지연막층(14)은 도광관(13)의 제1면(15)에 부착된다. 2중층 반사/투과 홀로그램(16)은 박막층(14)에 대향하는 도광관(13)의 출력면(17) 상에 배치된다. 냉음극 형광관(11)으로부터의 광은 도광관(13)내로 주입되고, 2중층 홀로그램(16)으로부터 회절된다.
이로 인해 액티브 매트릭스 액정 디스플레이(21)의 적색, 녹색 및 청색 엘리먼트(22)의 클리어 개구에 대응하는 적색, 녹색 및 청색의 광 패치의 어레이로 홀로그램(16)에 의해 투과된 정교한 스펙트럼 색상의 준-콜리메이트 s-편광을 만들어낸다. 그 결과 액정 디스플레이(21)는 높은 디스플레이 밝기, 배터리 전력 감소, 배터리 수명 향상, 및 시야각 향상을 통한 높은 콘트라스크를 갖게 된다.
