ABSTRACT:
A display having (a) a first electrode; (b) a second electrode; (c) a display medium positioned between the first and second electrodes, which display medium is switchable between a first state in which incident light is at least one of scattered and absorbed and a second state in which the amount of such scattering and/or absorption is reduced; and (d) scattering centers disposed in front of the second electrode for scattering incident light with a scattering half angle of between about 2 and about 40 degrees when the display medium is in its second state, while permitting at least 10% of the incident light to be transmitted.
