A high brightness and high contrast reflective LCD with an internal micro slant reflector (MSR) is developed. The internal MSR is used in a single‐polarizer configuration using mixed‐mode twisted nematic (MTN) effect. MSR is effective in boosting the brightness of reflective LCD. The results show contrast ratio more than 30 and response time less than 20ms. In the configuration of a full‐color TFT‐LCD with 60% aperture ratio, reflectivity of 35% is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
