Abstract

This work presents a novel ultraviolet (UV) excited flat lighting (UFL) system consisting of remote phosphor converter (RPC) for liquid-crystal display (LCD) backlight applications. A trichromatic RPC is excited using 254 nm UV lamps to achieve a slim, high color saturation and high luminance backlight. Experimental results indicate that the module thickness reduces to 14.5 mm, along with a high color saturation (92% of the NTSC standard) as well as a high luminance (573 ${\hbox{cd/m}}^{2}$) when applied to large sized display (42-inch). Additionally, the proposed UFL backlight configuration has already been certified by a lifetime test to ensure the feasibility of proposed system in mass production.
