Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel, which has a plurality of pixel rows, and a backlight located at the rear of the liquid crystal panel. The backlight includes a plurality of thin-film organic electroluminescent elements. Each organic electroluminescent element flashes independently from the other organic electroluminescent elements. Each electroluminescent element corresponds to one of the pixel rows and radiates light toward the corresponding pixel row. This structure reduces thickness and power consumption of the liquid crystal display.

A liquid crystal display, the display comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixels;
- and
- a backlight located at the rear of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of thin-film self-luminous bodies, each of which flashes independently from the other self-luminous bodies, and wherein each self-luminous body corresponds to at least one of the pixels and radiates light toward the corresponding pixel.
A liquid crystal display, the display comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixel rows, each of which includes a plurality of pixels, wherein the liquid crystal panel has a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes, which extend in directions to intersect each other, and wherein each pixel is formed at the intersecting portion of one of the scanning electrodes and one of the data electrodes, and each pixel is driven in accordance with the voltage applied to the corresponding scanning electrode and the corresponding data electrode;
- and
- a backlight located at the rear of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the backlight includes a plurality of thin-film organic electroluminescent elements, which extend along the lengthwise direction of the scanning electrodes, wherein each organic electroluminescent element flashes independently from the other organic electroluminescent elements, and each organic electroluminescent element corresponds to at least one of the scanning electrodes, and wherein, when voltage is applied to one of the scanning electrodes, the corresponding organic electroluminescent element radiates light toward the pixel row including the pixels corresponding to the scanning electrode.
