  • Patent number: 10847582
    Abstract: A display device with a wide viewing angle is provided. A display device capable of displaying an image with a wide color gamut is provided. A display device includes a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, and a third light-emitting element. The light-emitting elements each include a pair of electrodes and a light-emitting layer. One of the pair of electrodes includes a reflective electrode, and the other of the pair of electrodes includes a transflective electrode. The light-emitting layers of the light-emitting elements are different from each other. A first peak wavelength of the emission spectrum of the first light-emitting element is greater than or equal to 400 nm and less than or equal to 480 nm. A second peak wavelength of the emission spectrum of the second light-emitting element is greater than or equal to 580 nm and less than or equal to 700 nm.

  • Patent number: 5107354
    Abstract: A method of conserving the battery power supply of a liquid crystal display including a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer having a bistability characteristic, and an electrode arrangement corresponding to an m x n matrix of picture elements where all the picture elements are elements of a display picture to be displayed by the display where first electric fields are applied from the electrode arrangement for a first period of time to the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer to display a first display picture. The first electric fields are then removed for a second period of time greater than the first period of time whereby the first display picture continues to be displayed due to the bistability characteristic of the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer; and then second electric fields are applied to the ferroelectric liquid crystal display to change the picture displayed by the display from the first display picture to a second display picture.
