A color display (10) is disclosed which operates in cooperation with an ultraviolet source. The display comprises a liquid crystal solution contained within a light valve. A pair of electrodes (12, 14) is positioned on either side of the light valve to generate an electric field in the light valve. A pair of transparent sheets (18, 20) is positioned on either side of the electrodes (12, 14) and one of the transparent sheets (18, 20) is positioned adjacent the ultraviolet source. A phosphor layer (16) which comprises a plurality of discrete phosphor elements of different colors is advantageously positioned between this transparent sheet (18) and the electrode (12) located nearer the ultraviolet source to increase light transmission efficiency in the display. |
