Volumetric Scattering Layer for Flexible Transflective Display

Abstract

A flexible transflective liquid crystal display (FTF-LCD) which combined a flexible LCD and a flexible organic light emitting diode was demonstrated. Under high light ambience (reflected luminance of 250 nits), a LCD incorporated with a volumetric scattering layer (VSL) showed a contrast ratio of 10 : 1 at the viewing cone of 60 in the reflection mode. By adding the VSL to the LCD, the haze component was increased by a factor of 3.3. With the advantages of small form factor, flexibility, powersaving, and legibility in bright ambience, the FTF-LCD is very applicable to mobile products.

A High Performance Single-Domain LCD With Wide Luminance Distribution

“…A typical scattering type diffuser adopts small particles dispersed or accumulated in a polymer film [28]. Although this type of diffusing film is rather easy to design and fabricate [28], [41]- [45], it is more likely to be used inside the backlight module rather than on top of LC cell toward the viewer's side. The major concern is that it hazes the image [44], resulting in degraded resolution and poor ambient contrast.…”

Curved vertical‐alignment liquid crystal display with uniform brightness: From pixel design to verification

“…Benefit from the great viewing experience, curved liquid crystal display (LCD) are integrated into various products, including TVs, monitors, and automotive displays, leading to the remarkably increasing demands of curved LCD panels in the market recently 1–3 . Although the active‐matrix organic light‐emitting diode (AMOLED) is also a good candidate for curved displays, in certain application areas that no repeated bending is required and the radius of curvature is adaptable, the curved LCD is more competitive due to its relatively low cost and mature manufacturing process 4–8 …”

P‐156: Distinguished Poster: Curved Vertical‐alignment Liquid Crystal Display with Uniform brightness: from Pixel Design to Verification

“…Benefit from the great viewing experience, curved LCD are integrated into various products, including TVs, monitors and automotive displays, leading to the remarkably increasing demands of curved LCD panels in the market recently [1]. Although the active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) is also a good candidate for curved displays, in certain application areas that no repeated bending is required and the radius of curvature is adaptable, the curved LCD on thin glass substrates is more competitive due to its relatively low cost and high reproducibility [2][3][4][5][6]. However, the curved LCDs based on thin glass substrates suffer from an issue of uneven brightness among the LCD panels.…”
