Abstract:
A two-way trans-reflective display pixel (100) having two viewable sides (102, 104) is disclosed. The two-way trans-reflective display pixel has a first transparent layer (106), a second transparent layer (108), and light modulating medium (110) sandwiched between them. Both the first and second transparent layers (106, 108) have light reflectors (132, 136) and light absorbers (130, 134), which allow light entering from either viewable sides (102, 104) to partially reflected, partially absorbed, and partially transmitted, allowing an image to be viewable from both viewable sides (102, 104). A two-way trans-reflective display (402) comprising a plurality of two-way trans-reflective display pixels (100) and a transparent light source (412) is also disclosed. The transparent light source (412) provides color light, and enables an image from the two-way trans-reflective display (402) to be viewable in color from both first and second viewable sizes (418, 602).

A cholesteric liquid crystal polarizing device includes a substrate, an alignment layer, and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer including multiple domains, each of said domains skewed at an angle relative to a plane parallel to said substrate. The device may be used in combination with a liquid crystal cell to fabricate a reflective liquid crystal display (LCD). In various embodiments, the reflective LCD may be a normally white mode or normally black mode device. In another variation, the liquid crystal cell may include a 90null twisted nematic liquid crystal.
Abstract:
A spatial light modulator includes a plurality of spaced pixel elements. This gives rise to the possibility of reflections of light through inter-pixel gaps. These reflections may be reduced, improving the contrast, in some embodiments of the present invention, by providing a substrate beneath the pixel elements with a moth-eye like array of protrusions formed thereon. These protrusions tend to ameliorate the effects of inter-pixel light by causing multiple reflections which tend to dissipate such light.
