REMOTE WAVELENGTH CONVERTING MATERIAL CONFIGURATION FOR LIGHTING

摘要

A device includes a reflector and a wavelength converting material disposed on the reflector. A backlight is disposed between the reflector and a surface to be illuminated, such as a liquid crystal display panel. The backlight includes a light source and a waveguide. The waveguide is configured to direct a majority of light from the light source toward the reflector. At least a portion of the light is converted by the wavelength converted material, reflected by the reflector, and incident on the surface to be illuminated.
