Abstract

In a color display device (LCD) (1) driven in the transmission mode and based on the combination of (LCD) switching elements and a phosphor pattern, the phosphor pattern being irradiated, for example by a UV source, the light output is considerably increased by arranging an interference filter between the radiation source and the phosphor layer.
