  • Patent number: 8619214
    Abstract: An LCD device includes a transparent substrate. A first data electrode, a first CLC-MC layer, a first selection electrode, a second CLC-MC layer, a second data electrode, an insulating layer, a second selection electrode, a third CLC-MC layer, and a third data electrode are sequentially formed in this order on the transparent substrate.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 31, 2013
    Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventor: Ippei Inoh
  • Patent number: 8203688
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes: a transparent first substrate placed on the display plane side; a transparent second substrate opposed to the first substrate; a cholesteric liquid crystal that is placed between the first and second substrates and whose selective reflection color is yellow; and a reflector for white/blue display opposed to the second substrate. The angular dependence of scattered light intensity of the reflector for white/blue display is equivalent to the angular dependence of scattered light intensity of the cholesteric liquid crystal.

  • Publication number: 20100309096
    Abstract: When a main display element is in an active mode, all of a plurality of unit display regions of a sub display element are switched to a transmitting portion for displaying display information of the main display element. When the main display element is in a sleep mode in which the main display element provides black or dark display, the plurality of unit display regions of the sub display element are switched to the transmitting portion for displaying the black or dark display information of the main display element, and a reflecting portion for displaying white or bright display information by blocking light from the main display element and reflecting light from a viewer side.
