21.1: Electro‐optical Characterization of Reflective LCDs

Abstract: The concept of the BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) is applied to analyze, characterize and understand the reflective properties of LCDs and their components in more detail. BRDFs are measured in the plane of light incidence with a goniometric apparatus ("inplane BRDF") while the full 2-dimensional BRDF is measured with a conoscopic device. BRDF-curves of typical reflective LCDs clearly show the individual contributions of the first surface (unwanted reflections) and the component from th… Show more

“…For many reflective display technologies, the appearance of the display depends on the exact luminance (position and distribution of the apparatus providing the illumination) and on the viewing angle of the user (receiving detector with optics) due to many of the issues we have already highlighted. 32,33 To provide a reasonable characterization, both specular and diffuse reflectance should be measured. 32,34 Appropriate ambient lighting conditions must also be considered, such as daylight readability and contrast, in a continued effort to define reflective-display standards.…”

“…Angular dependant measurements have been carried out in the past and are still obtained in many situations with mechanical goniometric equipment [6], [7]. Those equipments are based on a mechanical scanning of the half space by moving the sample and/or the LMD (Light Measurement Device).…”

“…Sometimes this task is solved by the development of both new electrooptic media such as ferroelectric or vertically aligned LC and new tiny TFTs (polysilicon or LCoS). [1][2][3][4] However, this process changes the display image quality rather slowly. Another way is to develop new driving circuitry with improved signal address algorithms.…”
