P‐87: Optical Configuration of a Horizontal‐Switching Cell for a High‐Performance Reflective LCD

Abstract

An optical configuration for a horizontally-switched reflective LCD that could provide high reflectance as well as high contrast is proposed. We have shown that the proposed configuration can provide a flat reflection spectrum with very high reflectance in the bright state experimentally and theoretically.

P-160: Horizontal Switching of a Double-Cellgap Liquid Crystal Cell for Transflective Display

“…Since all the configurations are designed for the specific wavelength (550nm), lights at shorter or longer wavelengths experience the retardation different from that at the design wavelength. That causes the reduction of the transmittance and the reflectance, which can be easily confirmed by calculations with the Mueller matrix [13]. The Mueller matrix of a retardation layer can be written as; However, the polarization state of the output light depends on wavelengths so that the phase retardation needs to be described as…”

Analysis of Reflective Part with Wide-Band Property in Single Gap Transflective Fringe-Field Switching Mode

“…If the slow axis of LC cell ( H ) equals 15 and Q equals 75 , wideband property (excellent dark state in overall wavelength ranges) will be obtained without wide-band quarter-wave film. 8) The simulation results shows excellent dark state under low polar angle compared with any other optical configurations except short wavelength region. Figure 1(b) shows side view of simulation.…”
