Abstract
A luminescent display has a plurality of individual discreet phosphor elements (33) on a glass plate separated from one another, filler material (45) between the phosphor elements and reflective film over the individual phosphor elements (33). The filler material (45) can be white and contact the sides of the phosphor elements (33). The filler material (45) can have a peak height that is at least half of the height of the individual phosphor elements (33) between which the filler material (45) lies.
Claims10
A field emission display, comprising:
- a plurality of phosphor elements separated from one another by gaps, the phosphor elements having a top portion and side portions;
- white filler material in the gaps, the white filler material being between the phosphor elements and the white filler material contacting the side portions of the phosphor elements;
- black matrix material in the gaps, wherein the white filler material is on the black matrix material between the phosphor elements;
- and
- a segmented reflective film contacting and covering the top portion of the phosphor elements and at least some of the white filler material, wherein portions of the segmented reflective film are separated from one another in the gaps.
