BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The devices described herein relate to reflective displays, and in particular reflective displays utilizing a variety of different light valves. This display generally lacks- Or more of the following characteristics classified in the TV wide display: "Small package, high color resolution, higher monochrome resolution, high brightness, high color fidelity, wide grayscale dynamic range, high contrast, high multiple impact, acuity , Wide viewing angle and high surrounding light repellency, Because of the trade-offs in the design of current display technologies, it is difficult to get all of these features in a single display. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ------------ Installation-- <Please read the precautions on the back before trying this page). For example, when a poorly calibrated backlight is roughly integrated, it is located at When the gap between the LCD display pixels and a diffused curtain must be separated, there will be a loss of sensitivity of the display. In addition, because there is no separate screen element, it is necessary to use uncalibrated light to provide an acceptable viewing angle range. The use of un-collimated light from LCD pixels causes poor reflections and loss of contrast at large viewing angles. This effect can be reduced by any of a variety of commercially available compensation negatives, however, such negatives are further reduced In many of these cases, the contrast has been greatly improved. However, the lower brightness also reduces the grayscale dynamic range. Therefore, there is a need for a display that exhibits all or most of the features of the display described above.

The waveguide 10 may be made of a clearly refracting material such as glass or a plastic such as acrylic or polycarbonate. The total internal reflection will limit the light in the waveguide until the light separates through one of the output surfaces 14 and 16, the waveguide 10 is low. The high-output surfaces 14 and 16 may be parallel or at an angle to each other to form a push. In the latter case, 'light will be incident on the waveguide 10, single-ended. As shown in Figure 2, 'Waveguide 10 is divided into one. The individual analysis cells 50 of the rectangular cross section of the array are known.' The cross-sectional size of the analysis cell 50 can be selected to correspond to a single pixel in the display. For example, in a 6x8 inch display, Choose an analytical cell with a section size of 66 microns x 200 microns, but of course other sizes can be used. 'If the analytical cell 50 is a separate component, you can use a refraction with a material smaller than 50 in the analytical cell. Materials are optically isolated, and the analysis cells 50 can be arranged in rows or columns of a rectangular array, or staggered in rows or columns. As shown in FIG. 3, there is a v-slot or concave light separation feature 5 2 reliefs or molds. Into the output outer surface 16 of the waveguide 10, for example, the v-groove may have a depth of about 2 micrometers, and each analysis cell 50 is provided with one or more optical separation features 52. In the illustrated embodiment, the The surfaces 54 can be perpendicular to each other and form a 45 degree angle with respect to the surface, but please understand that other angles can be selected. For the purpose of illustration and description, the thickness of the V groove in the illustration relative to the actual device is much larger than the actual ruler.

Description of the invention (_5 inch A7 B7 ----- Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Enter the input edge 12 of the waveguide 10 and propagate through the waveguide 10 in opposite directions at the same time. When the light collides with one surface 54 of a V-slot light separation feature 52 at a greater angle than the critical angle, it will reflect off the surface 54 at an angle equal to the incident angle , And guide the output surface 14 below the guide 10, if any such reflected light hits one side 56 of the analytical cell 50, the smaller refractive index between the analytical cell 50 and the total internal reflection limits the light energy To the resolution cell 50. The thickness of the waveguide 10 and the depth of the V-slot light separation feature 52 can be selected to optimize the light separation, efficiency, and uniformity of the display. When the thickness of the waveguide 〇 and the V-slot are increased Light separation characteristics. When the depth of 5 2 is reduced, the uniformity of the display (the ratio of the difference in brightness changes to the sum of the changes in maleity, measured across the display surface) will increase, but the waveguide separation efficiency (output under the waveguide The ratio of the surface flux output to the waveguide flux input (i) will be reduced. Instead of a v-slot or recessed light separation feature 52, the trapezoidal light separation feature 60 of FIG. 3A may be used. When light passes through the waveguide 10, the impact When the trapezoidal light separation feature 60 has one of the oblique opposite sides 62, its reflection is directed toward and through the lower output surface 14 of the waveguide 10. In addition, the mechanism for separating light from the waveguide 10 may be located on the lower output surface 1, a structure The light can be refracted or diffractive, or a reflective element or a combination thereof to reflect the light. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a relatively oblique cut 70 can be generated on the lower output surface 14. Each of the cuts causes an exposure to air. Table 72, which completely reflects any light impinging on the surface 72 internally. In addition, the surface 72 can be coated with a reflective material such as a shape to reflect the light intercepted, and the incision is at a 45-degree angle.

The description of the invention (,) is propagated to the light valve assembly 30. The light valve assembly 30 may be Any electrical control device that selectively passes or completely or partially prevents light from passing through, can operate on the basis of an absorptive, scattering, polarizing, or variable refractive index. Such a device is a diffused light valve For example, a polymer'-discrete liquid crystal (PDLC), PLDCs are described in Liquid Crystal Displav 85-9Q published by Stanford Resources, Inc. (1995), which is used here for reference. Although PDLC is roughly a single stone page, its visible In order to distinguish into "analytic cells" or "pixels", the size and position correspond to the analytical cell 50 of the waveguide 10. The other type of light valve is a particle suspension device (SPD). SPDs were described in 1996. April to May Information Display Saxe ^ Thompson ^ &quot; Suspended-Particle Devices &quot; Anti-residence liquid crystal displays, twisted nematic liquid crystal (TN) and super twisted nematic liquid crystal (STN) active-matrix liquid crystal displays, electrophoretic devices, and optical phase shifters that change refractive index can also be used as light valves. Figure 5 As shown in the cross-sectional view, the light valve assembly 30 may include an electrode layer 100, such as a thin layer of IT0 (indium tin oxide) or some other electrode material, the output surface 14 below the adjacent waveguide, a light valve layer 110, A reflective layer 120 includes a series of reflective pixel electrodes 1 2 2 to keep the circuits insulated from each other, and a lower substrate 130 such as a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB can be rigid or flexible according to the application. The manufacturing can use a variety of substrates, using removable (such as etching) or additive methods, or a combination of methods to produce a conductor. In addition, the PCB can be used to integrate other circuits and optical devices, including but not limited to light valve drive Device (not shown), other system electronic components, and light -9- This paper is oriented toward the towel ^ (CNS) A4 specification (21QX297 mm) --------- installation ----- . 丨 Order ------ line (please read the precautions on the back first, ί (This page) A7 B7 Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-Industrial and Consumer Cooperatives Fifth, the description of the invention (7) Source 20 and its related electronic components. The size and shape of the reflective image electrode 122 in the reflective layer 120 generally conform to the analytical cell 50 Size and shape, but it can have other structures to suit specific applications. If the light valve assembly 30 is bonded to the output surface 14 below the waveguide 10, the adhesive used should have a refractive index less than that of the waveguide 10, To ensure that the pre-collimated light in the waveguide stays inside the waveguide (due to the total internal reflection) until it is separated by the face 54 of the V-groove 52. When a voltage is applied between the electrode layer 100 and a pixel electrode 122, an electric field is generated therebetween, which changes the crystal microstructure of the light valve 110 portion of the adjacent pixel electrode 122. When the applied voltage is changed, the -structure It will change from a medium that almost completely prevents light from passing into a partially enhanced light ray to a medium that allows light rays to freely pass through clear devices. In addition, instead of static operation, a fast-moving on / off can be used. The element light valve operates in a variable energy rate cycle to achieve the required light to pass through the plutonium over time. When the light valve 110 is clear or near-clear, the light leaving the output surface 14 below the waveguide 10 will pass through the light valve 110 ′ until it reaches a reflective pixel electrode 122 and is reflected back through the light valve 110, and finally, unless it reflects Leaving one surface 54 of the V-groove feature 52, the light will pass through the waveguide 10 through the upper output surface 16. Please understand that the light reflected by the V-groove surface 54 is a small percentage of the light reflected by the pixel electrode 122, and in any case Will circulate within the waveguide 10. In order to further increase the optical isolation between adjacent analysis cells, the second waveguide component 200 corresponding to the analysis 202 may be located between the first waveguide 10 and the electrode layer 100 of the light valve component 30, as shown in FIG. 6 The wall 204 of the analysis cell 202 in the second waveguide 200 may be coated with a low-refractive-index transparent layer, followed by a light-absorbing material-10- This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 male thin)- ------- install ------ order ------ line-(please read and read the crying items on the back ^ 4 page).---......

Description of the invention (8) Materials such as black resin completely reflect the unscattered collimated rays internally, and at the same time absorb the scattered uncollimated rays, so that the scattered uncollimated rays are prevented from entering an adjacent analytical cell 202 In addition, a low-refractive index black resin can be used alone, and the depth of the analysis cell 200 in the second waveguide assembly 200 can be increased to restrict the passage of less dense direct light rays. The diffuser 40 (Fig. 1) may be any device that will receive the light rays output from the waveguide 16 on the surface 16 and diffuse it to the required level for a particular application. A suitable diffuser is described by Beeson in 1996. 1 U.S. Patent Application No. 08 / 759,338 &quot; Optical Structure for Diffusion of Light &quot; on U.S. Patent Application No. 5,462,70 issued to Beeson et al.

The light from the light source 20 can be spectrally divided into two main visible light bands (such as red, green, and blue). Each color can then be passed through separately. The path reaches the individual columns of red, green, and blue, as shown in Figure 7.

Description of the invention (, A7 B7 Economy The Central Bureau of Standards of the People's Republic of China's consumer cooperatives print various colors and analyze them to varying degrees. Another display device uses volume or surface stereophotometer elements to separate and guide light, and provides a color-selective transmission phase for each color and each pixel- Volumetric or surface stereophotographic elements only-to separate light from the waveguide, the stereophotographic element was described in 1970 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Caulfield, HJ and Lu, S. in The Application of Holography ρρ43 · 49, which is used here for reference. As shown in FIG. 8, a stereo photographic element 300 is located below the waveguide 10 and the output surface 14 is stereoscopic. The photo element 300 is designed to pass through a specific wavelength or a range of light wavelengths, such as corresponding to a main color of red, green, and blue, which &quot; reaches the stereo photo element 300 in a predetermined range of transmission directions. '— The waveguide 10 of the The lower output surface 14 is shown in FIG. 8A, which shows the arrangement of the stereo photo 300 and the adjacent gradient lens 330. Each stereo photo element 300 cooperates with an adjacent gradient lens 330 to generate an analytical cell 50. A stereo photo element and a gradient lens, an analytical cell can have a 3: 1 aspect ratio and a size of 66 microns x 200 microns, although other ratios and sizes can be selected to suit the application. In addition, if the The adjacent lenses do not overlap, and the gradient lens 330 may extend beyond the boundary of the analysis cell 50.

Please understand that the first gradient ratio lens 330 can be manufactured on or under the surface of the waveguide 10 by using techniques familiar to the art, or on the surface of the waveguide 10, or on the surface of the selective refractive medium 304. The first gradient The rate lens 33o focuses in the direction of the vertical surface 16 and directs light upward to the output surface 16. A volume or surface stereo photographic element can be used instead of the first gradient rate lens 33o. From the first lens on the lower output surface 14-the rate lens 33 °, a series of inner gradient rate lenses 340a-c 'refocus and direct the light upwards as shown in FIG. 9, and select the focal length and vertical gap of the individual lenses to ensure The light beams traveling toward the output surface 16 above the waveguide 10 will not overlap each other, thereby avoiding interference between adjacent analytical cells. For the first gradient lens 340c, a shorter focal length can be selected to make the focused image area 341 on the upper output surface 16 smaller. The output surface 16 is preferably covered with a black matrix except that the surface area is occupied by the image area 341. The smaller image will allow the black matrix material on the top surface of the waveguide to occupy the more airy area to reduce the reflection of surrounding light or the scattering from the display. In addition, corresponding to the red, green, and blue, it converges from the top lens beam.

Description of the invention (J2) Guide 500 passes through a selective sawtooth edge 510, and the light passes through the waveguide, reflecting off the surface of waveguide 500 until the light reaches the lower surface 504 Up to the frequency pass filter 520, the frequency pass filter 520 can be a two-way color filter, a transmission single-phase volume stereo photographic element, or some other wavelength selective device, which will pass through a specific range of wavelengths, and at the same time almost completely Reflection of other parts. The filter 520 transmits a wavelength of a selected band into the refracting medium layer 530, and simultaneously reflects the wavelength outside the selected band. The transmitted light passes through the valve 540 and is reflected by the electrode assembly 550 in a similar manner to the corresponding element of FIG. 8, the redirection The light then passes back into the waveguide 500 and passes through a stereo photo transmission directional diffuser element 560 and an air gap 570 between the element 560 and the lower surface 504 of the waveguide 500. The stereo photo element 560 changes the direction of propagation of the light rays and also makes the light As a result, the light rays travel upward toward the top surface 508 of the waveguide 500. Instead of a mirror electrode 550, a stepped mirror 600 shown in FIG. 13 below the light valve 540 can be used to reflect light. In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, a diffuser structure 620 such as an array micro lens can be placed On the upper surface 532 (Fig. 12) of the refractive medium layer 530, instead of the stereo photographic element, the microlens can be used as described in US Patent No. 5,598,281 issued to Zimmerman et al.
