Abstract:
A reflective film includes interior layers arranged to selectively reflect light by constructive or destructive interference, the layers extending from a first zone to a second zone of the film. The film has a first thickness and the interior layers provide a first reflective characteristic in the first zone; the film has a second thickness and the interior layers provide a second reflective characteristic in the second zone. The difference between the first and second reflective characteristics is not substantially attributable to any difference between the first and second thicknesses, which difference may be zero. Rather, the difference in the reflective characteristics is substantially attributable to reduced birefringence of at least some of the interior layers in one zone relative to the other zone. The film may also incorporate absorbing agents to assist in the manufacture or processing of the film. Related methods and articles are also disclosed.

An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a housing. The display may include a liquid crystal display module and a reflective polarizer having an in-plane optical axis. The display may also include a backlight unit that includes a light source, a light guide element, and a reflector film coupled to a backside of the light guide element. The display may also include a light retardation layer such as a quarter wave film. The quarter wave film may be arranged between the reflective polarizer and the reflector film of the backlight unit. Partially polarized light that is output from a front side of the light guide element may have a first component parallel to the in-plane optical axis and a second component perpendicular to the in-plane optical axis of the reflective polarizer. The second component may be reflected from the reflective polarizer.

Abstract:
The objective is to provide a stereoscopic display device that can be switched among 2D display mode, 3D display mode and mirror mode, where 2D display may be realized even while the device is staying in mirror mode. The device includes: a display panel (12); a switch liquid crystal panel (14); an absorptive polarizer (16); and a reflective polarizer (22). The switch liquid crystal panel is located closer to the viewer than the display panel is. The absorptive polarizer is located closer to the viewer than the switch liquid crystal panel is. The reflective polarizer is located between the display panel and the switch liquid crystal panel. The reflective polarizer passes those components of light entering the reflective polarizer that are parallel to the transmission axis (L6) while reflecting those components that are perpendicular to the transmission axis. At least one of the substrates (32, 34) includes a transparent region (58) capable of passing light from the display panel.
