ABSTRACT:
A new concept of the normally open LCD light switching element is proposed, which allows for the superior angular compensation for the light attenuation by using a single simple negative bireffingent c-plate compensation layer. The concept is based on the simultaneous use of highly angularly symmetric STN LC-configuration (preferably 180° twist) and maximal use of the single (preferably ordinary ray) light propagation mode. The solution is best suitable for various light switching applications like LCD automatic protective welding light filters, as well as for multi-segment large display panels, where it provides for excellent uniformity of the light-attenuation in the “dark” state.
