This paper presents a dual-view (DV) liquid crystal display (LCD) fabricated with a twisted nematic (TN) cell that has patterned electrodes on its substrates. The TN DV LCD effectively inhibits the bright state light leakage in the un-intended viewing direction, improving the contrast ratio of the DV LCD when the right and the left subpixels of the DV LCD are addressed simultaneously. In the preferred viewing direction, the TN DV LCD has a high contrast ratio of 140:1.
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.
