    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device, adjacent light-emitting elements of adjacent different groups are not connected in series but are arranged with an interval. Adjacent light-emitting elements of the same group are arranged with an interval shorter than the interval between the adjacent light-emitting elements of the adjacent different groups. The frame includes plural recesses recessed from an inner peripheral surface facing the light guide plate and recessed also from a surface opposite to the liquid crystal display panel. A protrusion is relatively formed between the adjacent recesses. The light-emitting elements of any one of the groups are housed in one of the recesses and the light-emitting elements of the plural groups are respectively housed in the plural recesses. A protrusion is positioned between the adjacent light-emitting elements of the adjacent different groups.

  • Publication number: 20140063417
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for correcting a color of light being generated by an LCD image system having an LED and an LCD glass component that is illuminated by the LED. A plurality of color correction filters are constructed, with each providing a predetermined, differing color shift to light being output by the LCD glass component, based on a measured color of the light being output from the LCD glass component. Each of the color correction filters is constructed based on a known range of color variations that may be present in a color of the light being output from the LCD glass component. Each filter provides a color shift that shifts the color of the light being output from the LCD glass component from outside a predetermined target color area back into the predetermined target color area.
