GEMISCHTE GLUEHLICHT-/FLUORESZENZLICHTQUELLE FUER FLUESSIGKRISTALLANZEIGEN

摘要

A light source (9) for a transmissive liquid crystal display panel (1) consists of an array of alternate fluorescent (12) and incandescent (13) light elements. The incandescent light elements provide light for the display at low temperatures while simultaneously acting as a radiant heat source for the adjacent fluorescent elements to permit the fluorescent light elements to operate at ambient temperature at which they normally do not emit light or emit light at very low levels. <IMAGE>
