LCD Display With Highlighting

A display comprising:

• a liquid crystal layer including a first display area, a second display area, and a transition area therebetween;
• a light source including:
• a first portion opposite to the first display area and configured to illuminate the first portion at a first light intensity;
• and a second portion opposite to the second display area and configured to illuminate the second portion at a second light intensity that is different than the first light intensity;
• a light diffusion layer between the light source and the liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a wall opposite to the transition area and between the first portion and the second portion of the light source, the wall extending towards the light diffusion layer and including a receptacle spaced apart from the light diffusion layer such that light generated by both the first and second portions of the light source may pass through the receptacle to illuminate the transition area;
• wherein when the first light intensity is different from the second light intensity, illumination of the transition area gradually transitions from light of the first light intensity to light of the second light intensity.

A display comprising:

• a liquid crystal layer including a first display area, a second display area, a third display area, a first transition area, and a second transition area, wherein the second display area is between the first and third display areas, the first transition area is between the first and second display areas, and the second transition area is between the second and third display areas;
• a light source including:
• a first group of light emitting elements opposite the first display area and configured to illuminate the first display area;
• a second group of light emitting elements opposite to the second display area and configured to illuminate the second display area;
• and
• a third group of light emitting elements opposite to the third display area and configured to illuminate the third display area;
• a first wall opposite to the first transition area, and between the first group of light emitting elements and the second group of light emitting elements;
• a second wall opposite to the second transition area, and between the second group of light emitting elements and the third group of light emitting elements;
• and
• a light diffusion layer including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, on the first side is the liquid crystal layer, and on the second side is the light source and the first and second walls;
• wherein both the first wall and the second wall extend from a base including the light source towards the light diffusion layer, and include a concave surface that terminates prior to reaching the light diffusion layer to direct light generated by the light source to the liquid crystal layer, the concave surface is concave relative to the liquid crystal layer.
