Optical Films for Reflective LCDs
(front diffuser, wide-band λ/4 films) |
 |
| Polarizing film, retardation film and diffuser were combined into a single unit for reflective color LCD. |
 |
Outline |
|
 |
| Broad spectrum λ/4 films provide constant retardation (λ/4) to any wavelength. The front diffuser realizes a brighter reflective panel by controlling dispersing characteristics. We have combined those with polarizing films into one single unit. |
Structures of inner reflective type LCD |
 |
| The polarizing film,the retardation film and the front diffuser are combined into one unit. |
 |
Wavelength characterristics of board spectrum λ/4 films |
 |
Constant retardation (λ/4) is given to any wavelength.Conventional wavelength film shifts the retardation of blue and red lights from λ/4, resulting in deteriorated the contrast.

 |
Optical properties of front diffuser |
 |
| By controlling the diffusing property, brighter reflective panels can be realized. |
