Abstract

Quality of the reflective LCD as a display is strongly influenced by the environment where the display is evaluated. Up to now, several methods for the evaluation of the reflective LCDs have been proposed. We have developed a new method in which the optical characteristics of the reflective LCDs from the spot light and the diffuse light can be obtained at the same time. The results obtained in our experiments by using the new method showed a good agreement with those evaluated at office and outdoor environments.
