Abstract

Ce dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides (10) est doté d'un dispositif de rétroéclairage (12) et d'un panneau à cristaux liquides (11). Le dispositif de rétroéclairage (12) est doté de DEL (17) qui contiennent les éléments suivants : des éléments de DEL bleue (40) ; des luminophores verts qui ont chacun un spectre d'émission qui a un pic ayant une longueur d'onde de pic dans la plage de 520 à 540 nm et une largeur totale à mi-hauteur de moins de 60 nm ; et des luminophores rouges qui ont chacun un spectre d'émission qui a un pic principal ayant une longueur d'onde de pic dans la plage de 629 à 635 nm et une largeur totale à mi-hauteur de moins de 10 nm, un premier sous-pic ayant une longueur d'onde de pic dans la plage de 607 à 614 nm, et un second sous-pic ayant une longueur d'onde de pic dans la plage de 645 à 648 nm. Le panneau à cristaux liquides mentionné ci-dessus (11) a un filtre coloré (29) comprenant une pluralité de parties colorées (29R, 29G, 29B) et utilise la lumière provenant du dispositif de rétroéclairage (12) à des fins d'affichage.
