A color liquid crystal display includes a wavelength converter having a
plurality of wavelength conversion areas and a plurality of transparent
areas. The wavelength conversion areas are disposed at the positions
corresponding to red and green filters while the transparent areas are
disposed at the positions corresponding to blue filters. After passing
through the wavelength conversion areas, a blue light is converted to a
broadband yellow light. The broadband yellow light will be subsequently
converted to a red or green light of interest when it passes through red
or green filters. The blue light will experience no change in wavelength
when it passes through the transparent areas. With such arrangement, the
displayed brightness and saturation of red and green colors can be
improved, and the displayed brightness and saturation of blue color can
also be enhanced.
