Transflective Liquid Crystal Display of In-Plane Switching (IPS), Using Patterned Retarder on the Side of the Upper Substrate

  • Published : 2006.08.22

Abstract

We propose a transflective In-Plane Switching mode in which patterned retarder is placed only on the reflective area of the upper substrate side. By selecting optic axes of Half Wavelength Plate and Liquid Crystal as 24 and 90 degree with respect to polarizer, condition of low reflectance for visible wavelength range at black state is found.
