Abstract

The disclosure relates to a light source positioned behind a liquid crystal display, the output from the liquid crystal being projected onto a projection screen that has random polarization, thereby permitting a wide range of vision. The screen can be a part of the liquid crystal display by providing a frosted surface thereon which permits diffusion of the light emanating from the display.
