Abstract

A back lighting device for a liquid crystal display has a light scattering coating in the form of dots covering the light emitting surface of a photo-conductive plate. The coating covers 3-50% of the surface nearest an end thereof adjacent a linear light source and covers 80-100% of the surface farthest from the light source. The variation of the coating rate across the surface produces uniform distribution of emitted light from the back lighting device.
