The new strategy is to use fewer and brighter phosphors, perhaps as few
as 3 (e.g. red, green and blue). When one looks at the spectrum
produced by a tri-phosphor coating, one is tempted to predict a garish
and unpleasant outcome. But the actual result appears quite
attractively "white" to most people. It makes sense if you remember
that your TV and your computer monitor create "whiteness" using only 3
phosphors.
