Problems solved by technology

[0026] However, in liquid crystal displays using CCFL tubes in the related art as light sources, there is a problem that the NTSC ratio is low mainly due to the emission spectrum of the light source, so that the color range is narrow, or there is a problem of color balance.
More specifically, there is no problem with Color B because Color B exceeds the range of the NTSC system; however, in Color G and Color R, the chromaticity range of Color G and R tends to be narrow, so the display needs to be improved

example 1

[0088] image 3 The spectrum of the light source device of Example 1 and the color filter characteristics of the LCD panel are shown. The meaning of the horizontal and vertical axes is the same as Figure 8 in the same.

[0089] In this example, a combination of a CCFL tube 3 and an LED 4 to which B phosphorescence and G phosphorescence were applied was used as a light source device, and mercury was used as an excitation gas. The B phosphorescence quality and G phosphorescence quality of CCFL tube 3 are the same as those in Comparative Example 2, and LED 4 is an AlInGaP base red light-emitting diode (reference figure 2 ). exist image 3 , W3 indicates the emission spectrum of the combination of CCFL tube and LED. The meanings of CFB, CFG, and CFR are the same as those in Comparative Example 1 (refer to Figure 8 ).

[0090] In the emission spectrum W3, the peak PB at 450 nm is the peak of the B phosphorescence of the CCFL tube 3 . Around 510 to 520nm (at image 3 The...

The meanings of CFB, CFG, and CFR are the same as those in Comparative Example 1 (refer to Figure 8 ).

[0096] In this example, since xenon, an inert gas, is used as the excitation gas instead of mercury, the emission line spectrum around 404nm, 436nm, 546nm, and 578nm unique to mercury disappears. The color gamut of the case where the light source is used as a backlight ...

Abstract

A liquid crystal display and a light source apparatus capable of improving color reproduction compared to the prior art is disclosed. The light source apparatus includes: a cold cathode fluorescent tube including a B phosphor for blue and a G phosphor for green; and a light emitting diode for red, wherein the G phosphor emits a single-spectrum light with a peak wavelength of 510 to 530 nm, and the light emitting diode emits a single-spectrum light with a peak wavelength of 620 to 650 nm, and does not suffer from declining light intensity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light source device emitting white light, and a liquid crystal display using the light source device. Background technique [0002] In current television receivers (TV), NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) system color display is standard. When the color reproduction range of the display is narrower than that of NTSC, an image having a narrower color range than that of an original signal is displayed, so that a dynamic range is impaired, resulting in a reduction in image quality. Recently, in a liquid crystal display (LCD), which is a type of display, attempts have been made to expand the color reproduction range. [0003] As an indicator of the range of color reproduction, the so-called NTSC ratio is used. The NTSC ratio is the ratio of the area of ​​the color range that the display can reproduce to the area of ​​the reproduction range of NTSC in the xy chromaticity diagram, and the NTSC ratio is expressed...
