The aforementioned device has similar or identical optical performance to a rotating polarizer with a reduced polarization angle of 90 ° (ie, a polarization angle of 8 °, 18 °, or 16 °).

By adjusting the parameters of the liquid crystal cell, standard white and standard black liquid crystal cells can be obtained. Compared to the standard white or black direct-view configuration, which uses a single polarizer, the standard white or black projection configuration uses a polarizing beam splitter. Please refer to "Figure 1" for the intention of a standard black direct-view reflective liquid crystal display device. The direct-view display device does not have to be standard black and uses a polarizer.

Description of the invention (4) A 90 ° change occurs in the polarization state of the light. The polarizer blocks the reflected light and creates a dark image. In the on state, the polarization of the incident light does not change, and the reflected light can pass through the polarizer to produce a bright image (br i gh t i mage). Figure 1 shows the closed and open states. Please refer to "Figure 2" for a schematic diagram of a standard white projection reflective liquid crystal display device.

與第1圖的配置相比,用偏振分光器9取代偏振器1, 投影顯示裝置不一定是標準白色且使用偏振分光器。液晶 導引器(liquid crystal director)相對於偏振分光器9 的角度與相對於第1圖偏振器3的角度相同。經由包含偏 振分光器9的正方體鲮鏡偏振器(cube prism polarizer )反射,即可將入射光線性偏振且導引至液晶5 (與第1 圖液晶5的配置相同)。後基底具有反射塗層可將光反射 (與第1圖後基底7的配置相同)。在關閉狀態,反射光 通過偏振分光器,在螢幕1 1上產生明亮影像。偏振分光器 在入射光方向將光反射,在螢幕1 1上產生黑暗影像。第2 圖顯示關閉及開啟狀態。 該注意偏振分光器的標準白色模式也可用在直視應 用。Compared with the configuration of FIG. 1, instead of the polarizer 1 with the polarizing beam splitter 9, the projection display device is not necessarily a standard white and uses a polarizing beam splitter. The angle of the liquid crystal director with respect to the polarization beam splitter 9 is the same as the angle with respect to the polarizer 3 in FIG. 1. By reflecting from a cube prism polarizer including the polarization beam splitter 9, the incident light can be polarized and guided to the liquid crystal 5 (the same configuration as the liquid crystal 5 in Fig. 1). The rear substrate has a reflective coating to reflect light (same configuration as the rear substrate 7 in Figure 1). In the off state, the reflected light passes through the polarizing beam splitter to produce a bright image on the screen 11. The polarizing beam splitter reflects the light in the direction of the incident light and produces a dark image on the screen 1 1. Figure 2 shows the closed and open states. Note that the standard white mode of the polarizing beamsplitter can also be used in direct-view applications.

The performance of the conventional hybrid reflective twisted nematic liquid crystal display device is extremely sensitive to changes in intercellular space. The invention may provide examples of insensitivity to changes in intercellular space. "Figure 3" shows the definitions of the twist angle and polarization angle of the hybrid reflection type twisted nematic liquid crystal display device. The twist angle (t w i s t ang 1 e) is the difference between the alignment directions of the front and rear surfaces of the mixed-mode twisted nematic cell. The polarization angle (p ο 1 a r i z e r a n g 1 e) is the angle between the alignment direction of the front surface of the twisted nematic cell and the polarization axis. Design a performance measurement method for the insensitivity of the phase delay change response. The phase delay is allowed to vary in the range of ± 0.01, and the integral difference between the two response curves can be obtained. Let R r (λ) be the reflectance of the LCD measured at the wavelength λ with the phase delay r, which we define as the brightness measurement in the off state. At a particular phase delay value, the sensitivity of the spectral performance to changes in phase delay is defined as Ω (r) = | Φ (r + 0. 01) -Φ (r-〇. 01) | Reflection of a single ideal polarizer

(6) 90 ° multiple twist angle, 20 ° polarization angle, and 0.24 phase delay (90, 20, 0.2 mode for short). "Figure 16" is a graph of the off-state wavelength versus normal reflection according to the three modes 1-3 of the present invention and the three modes 4-6 of the comparative example.

在第1 6圖中,模式1的特徵是以圓圈0表示,模式2 的特徵是以實線-表示,模式3的特徵是以虛線...表示, 模式4的特徵是以星號*表示,模式5的特徵是以交叉*表 示,而模式6的特徵是以加號+表示。 對於不同波長(廣帶)及亮度的高一致色響應而言,模 式1到3比模式4到6優越。模式5的反射度約在5 5 0 nm到達峰 值,但是色散很嚴重。模式4與6則亮度不足。 下表顯示關閉狀態的Φ及Ω測量,就相位遲延變化的 不靈敏而言,模式1到3比模式4到6優越。 「第1 7〜1 9圖」顯示模式4到6的關閉開啟轉換, 由此可看出模式4到6在關閉狀態下的亮度不足,模式5則 是色散。In Figure 16, the features of mode 1 are represented by circle 0, the features of mode 2 are represented by solid lines-the features of mode 3 are represented by dashed lines ..., the features of mode 4 are represented by asterisks *, Pattern 5 is characterized by a cross *, while Pattern 6 is characterized by a plus sign +. For highly consistent color response at different wavelengths (wideband) and brightness, Modes 1 to 3 are superior to Modes 4 to 6. The reflectance of mode 5 reaches its peak at about 5 50 nm, but the dispersion is severe. Modes 4 and 6 have insufficient brightness. The following table shows the measurements of Φ and Ω in the off state. In terms of the insensitivity of the phase delay change, modes 1 to 3 are superior to modes 4 to 6. "Figures 17 to 19" show the transitions from off to on for modes 4 to 6, and it can be seen that the modes 4 to 6 have insufficient brightness in the off state, and mode 5 is dispersion.
