62 Transflective liquid crystal display device US09755097 2001-01-08 US20010020990A1 2001-09-13 Jong-Weon Moon
A transflective liquid crystal display device that can selectively be used in the transmissive mode or the reflective mode. The transflective liquid crystal panel includes a reflective electrode having a transparent portion, a CLC color filter and a CLC polarizer. Light from a backlight device can pass through the transparent portion of the reflective electrode and into the liquid crystal. Moreover, light from the backlight device that is reflected by the reflective electrode can also pass through the transparent portion and into the liquid crystal without being absorbed by the CLC polarizer. The brightness of the transflective LCD device is thus improved.
63 Liquid crystal display with edge-lit backlight which uses ambient light injected between reflector and cholesteric polarizer US871616 1997-06-09 US6160595A 2000-12-12 Keiko Kishimoto
An object of the invention is to obtain brighter display in a liquid crystal display apparatus. Light of all the wavelengths in the visible range is converted into circularly polarized light by a first polarization condition converting member, converted into linearly polarized light by a second polarization condition converting member and is modulated by a liquid crystal display device. Then, transmission and block of the light is controlled by a polarizer. Specifically, one of the dextrorotatory circularly polarized light and the levorotatory circularly polarized light is reflected by a spectral member included in the first polarization condition converting member, converted into the other circularly polarized light by a reflecting member included in the first polarization condition converting member and supplied again to the spectral member. The other circularly polarized light is transmitted by the spectral member. Thus, by converting light of all the wavelengths in the visible range into circularly polarized light and then converting the circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light, in principle, 100% of the light is incident on a liquid crystal display device, so that brighter display is achieved.
64 Temperature matched retardation layer US099507 1998-06-18 US6088077A 2000-07-11 Paulus Pieter De Wit; Stephen James Picken; Andre Steenbergen; Martin Bosma
The invention is directed to a liquid crystalline display comprising a display cell containing liquid crystalline material and a retardation layer. The retardation layer comprises a, preferably slightly cross-linked, high-molecular weight material layer and a substrate, wherein the high-molecular weight material has a nematic phase above its Tg and a dynamic viscosity at the working temperature of at least 100 Pa.s. The difference of the Tc of the high-molecular weight material and the Tc of the low-molecular weight material of the display cell (TC.sub.cell) is in the range of -30.degree. C. to +30.degree. C., preferably in the range of -20.degree. C. to +20.degree. C., and more preferably in the range of -10.degree. C. to +10.degree. C.; and the Tg of the high-molecular weight liquid crystalline material is lower than 50.degree. C. It was found that if high-molecular weight material is used with a Tc comparable with that of the, preferably low-molecular weight, liquid crystalline material of the active cell, the temperature dependency of the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell. Thus, the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell within the temperature range in which displays are used. It was further found that by cross-linking of the high molecular weight liquid crystalline material, the retardation layers according to the invention become less susceptible to pinhole forming and unwanted variation of the twist, and have improved mechanical stability.

This invention refers to a liquid crystal device that provides a color display by utilizing a colorization phenomenon caused by double refraction birefringence of a liquid crystal, wherein the color tone that appears when no voltage or a non-selected voltage is applied is white or a non-color close thereto, and at least two colors are displayed when a voltage is applied, and electronic equipment in which this liquid crystal device is installed. A liquid crystal device which is capable of displaying colors without using color filters and which is also capable of displaying white or a non-color close thereto is implemented by optimizing the value of .DELTA.n.multidot.d of the liquid crystal and the relationship between the value of .DELTA.n.multidot.d of the liquid crystal and the value of retardation (R) of an optically anisotropic substance such as a retardation film. In other words, the liquid crystal cell and the optically anisotropic substance should be such as to satisfy the following relationships: .DELTA.n.multidot.d.gtoreq.1(.mu.m) 15.5.times..alpha..sup.2 -40.times..alpha.+25.1.ltoreq.R-.DELTA.n.multidot.d.ltoreq.15.5.times..alpha..sup.2 -40.times..alpha.+25.8(.mu.m)

A twisted nematic liquid crystal display cell has two layers each containing a liquid crystal material.

This leads to the advantage that coloration of transmission light owing to interference by double refraction is prevented.
