Is the diffuser in the LCD neccesary( mine turned yellow causing a yellow tint)?

[S65]

So, finally figured out the problem with the Sony 46z4100.It's diffuser (thickest one) was completely yellow and so i was getting a yellow tint on screen.I can't find any information on where to get a replacement or a substitube. Can i run the tv without the thick one ? If not where can i find one or is there a substitute that i can find at like home depot or something?.

Thanks

Yes it is if not you wont have uneven light across the display and you will see the spaces between the ccfls or Leds.
