Abstract
Backlight systems for display screens include multiple arrays of multiple different color picture elements and multiple arrays of LED devices that are configured to radiate light of multiple colors in a light path that impinges on the display screen, to provide backlighting on the display screen. More arrays of different color LED devices than arrays of different color picture elements are provided. For example, red, green and blue color picture elements may be provided, whereas red, green, blue and cyanine and/or amber backlighting LED devices may be provided.

10. A method of operating a display panel that includes a display screen comprising a two-dimensional array of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices and three different color filters thereon, and three arrays of Light Emitting Diode (LED) devices that are configured to radiate light of a respective three different colors in a light path that impinges on the display screen to provide backlighting that is perceived as white light on the display screen, the method comprising:
adding at least a fourth array of Light Emitting Diode (LED) devices that is configured to radiate light in a fourth color that is different from the three different colors, to continue to provide backlighting that is perceived as white light on the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
