Photoluminescent Liquid Crystal Displays (PLLCDs) combine the viewing angle and brightness of a cathode ray tube (CRT) with the flat panel format of an LCD. Manufacture should be possible on existing LCD facilities without major alterations. Here we explain the PLLCD concept, describe some practical implementation issues and report on various architectures being considered. Results are presented for a number of key components used in our demonstration displays. The opportunities that exist for the development of new components are highlighted.
