Backlit liquid crystal display with edge-mounted night lamp.

摘要

An improved night vision goggle (NVG) compatible day/night backlighting assembly for a color liquid crystal display (63) includes a daytime high intensity light source (70), an edge-mounted night time low intensity light source (72), and an integral collimating/reflecting/image splitting lens (65) which collimates and image splits the light emitted from the high intensity daytime light source, and reflects upward the low intensity light rays emanating from the low intensity edge-mounted light source.
