ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the teachings of this invention, a novel liquid crystal display is taught which includes a layer of liquid crystal material, one or more polarizers, and a fiber optica faceplate. The fiber optic faceplate serves to allow ambient light from a much wider range of incident angles to illuminate the LCD than would be the case with prior art LCDs, and allows the viewer to position himself so as to avoid front surface glare and still see the display brightly illuminated, even in difficult lighting situations.
