摘要:
A liquid crystal display apparatus which have a circular polarizer and a liquid crystal display in a stack. The liquid crystal display has a chilral nematic liquid crystal layer between substrates, and on the mutually opposite sides of the substrates, electrodes and aligning layers are formed. The liquid crystal switches between a planar alignment state and a focal-conic alignment state depending on the voltage applied thereto through the electrodes. In a planar state, light reflected by the electrodes is absorbed by the circular polarizer, and a black display is made. In a focal-conic state, light reflected by the electrodes passes through the circular polarizer, and a white display is made. The liquid crystal is driven by a chain of voltage pulses including a reset step of resetting the liquid crystal to a homeotropic state, a selection step of selecting the alignment state of the liquid crystal under zero-volt application and an evolution step of causing the liquid crystal to evolve to the selected alignment state.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display apparatus having a circular polarizer (composed of a linear polarizer and a retardation film), a scattering layer and a liquid crystal display which are stacked one upon another. The liquid crystal display has a chiral nematic liquid crystal layer between substrates, and electrodes and aligning layers are provided on mutually opposite surfaces of the substrates. The chiral nematic liquid crystal changes between a planar state and a focal-conic state in accordance with a voltage applied thereto through the electrodes. When the liquid crystal is in a planar state, light reflected by the electrode formed on the substrate located farther from an observing side is absorbed in the circular polarizer, and a black display is made. When the liquid crystal is in a focal-conic state, light reflected by the electrode formed on the substrate located farther from the observing side passes through the circular polarizer, and a white display is made. In this moment, the light reflected by the electrode is scattered by a scattering layer, and the directivity of the reflected light is weakened.

A liquid crystal light modulation element includes a liquid crystal layer between first and second substrates. The liquid crystal layer includes a liquid crystal material exhibiting a cholesteric phase having a peak selective reflection wavelength in a visible wavelength range. When the liquid crystal layer is in the selective reflection state, it has pixel regions near the first and second substrates. The liquid crystal domains in the pixel regions near the first substrate are in a mixed state of polydomain and monodomain states. The liquid crystal domains in the pixel regions near the first substrate have a first ratio between the liquid crystal domains taking the polydomain and monodomain states. The liquid crystal domains in the pixel regions near the second substrate have a second ratio between the liquid crystal domains taking the polydomain and monodomain states. The first ratio is different from the second ratio.
