摘要： Optical devices using reflective polarizers and, in particular, diffusely reflective polarizers are provided. Many of the optical devices utilize the diffusely reflecting and specularly transmitting properties of diffusely reflecting polarizers to enhance their optical characteristics. The optical devices include a lighting system which uses a reflector formed from a diffusely reflecting polarizer attached to a specular reflector. Another optical device is a display apparatus which uses a diffusely reflecting polarizer layer in combination with a turning lens which folds shallow angle light toward a light modulating layer. Other optical devices exploit the depolarizing characteristics of a diffusely reflecting polarizer when reflecting light. Still other optical devices use diffusely reflecting polarizers to recycle light and improve display illumination.

摘要： Optical devices using reflective polarizers and, in particular, diffusely reflective polarizers are provided. Many of the optical devices utilize the diffusely reflecting and specularly transmitting properties of diffusely reflecting poarizers to enhance their optical characteristics. The optical devices include a lighting system which uses a reflector formed from a diffusely reflecting polarizer attached to a specular reflector. Another optical device is a display apparatus which uses a diffusely reflecting polarizer layer in combination with a turning lens which folds shallow angle light toward a light modulating layer.

摘要： A back-lit colour display is disclosed, in which light from a backlight is filtered by a reflective filter structure arranged on a viewing side of the backlight. The reflective filter structure defines pixels having sub-pixels of red, green and blue colour. According to the invention, the filter structure comprises reflective regions having reflection bands that jointly cover the complete visible range of the spectrum, such that no gaps are present between the reflection bands. Preferably, the emission from the backlight is narrow band, and selected in such a way that the peak emission wavelength is within the corresponding reflection band, but close to the short wavelength cut-off thereof. Furthermore, the emission from the backlight is preferably selected to have a suitable overlap with the tri-stimulus functions of the human eye.

摘要： A liquid crystal display comprising an absorption polarizer disposed on the viewed side of a liquid crystal cell and a reflection polarizer disposed on the opposite side. The liquid crystal cell holds a liquid crystal between two transparent substrates each provided with an electrode on the opposite inner surface thereof. The absorption polarizer is a polarizing sheet absorbing a linearly polarized light having a plane of vibration perpendicular to the axis of easy transmission, whereas the reflection polarizer is a polarizing sheet reflecting the linearly polarized light. A reflector or a color filter is preferably disposed under the reflection polarizer, and a light diffusion layer or a light diffusion plate is preferably disposed on the viewed side of the absorption polarizer.

摘要： An optical film composed by laminating a light scattering film 1 scattering and transmitting light and comprising at least two phases or more different in refractive index and a reflective polarizer 2 selectively P/S converting the light. It is preferred that at least one phase of the light scattering film larger in the refractive index has a columnar structure extending in the thickness direction of the film and the transmittance of the film in the normal direction is 4% or more. The optical film is excellent in visibility, is small in light loss in order to provide an excellently visible and bright image, and has an excellent light collecting property when used in a liquid crystal display device or the like.

摘要： An image display apparatus which employs a polarization-sensitive scattering PSSE element. In the display, a light source is used to illuminate a panel which modulates light in order to form an image. Positioned between the light source and the panel is the PSSE element which acts to effectively separate light of different polarizations. The PSSE element provides a means for recapturing light energy which would otherwise be lost in the display, while reducing degradation and heat build-up due to light absorption.

摘要： A polarizer construction is disclosed that includes a reflective polarizer disposed on a first side of the construction to transmit light having one polarization and reflect light having an orthogonal polarization, and one or more colored dichroic polarizers disposed on a second side of the construction. The one or more colored dichroic polarizers are arranged so that when the construction is illuminated from the first side, an observer viewing the construction from the second side will observe a first spectral distribution of visible light, and when the construction is illuminated from the second side, an observer viewing the construction from the second side will observe a second spectral distribution of visible light different from the first spectral distribution. Various display constructions using colored polarizers to achieve color changing and image reversal effects are also disclosed.

摘要： A projection display apparatus (10) uses a modulation optical system (200) that includes a liquid crystal device (210) in combination with a wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240), a wire grid polarization analyzer (270) and a projection lens (285) to form an image. In order to achieve high contrast and maintain high brightness levels, a compensator (260) is provided for minimizing leakage light for pixels in the black (OFF) state. A number of configurations are possible, such as with the compensator (260) disposed in the optical path between the liquid crystal device (210) and the wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240) and with a secondary compensator (265) disposed between wire grid polarization analyzer (270) and the wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240).
