  • Patent number: 7301264
    Abstract: Frusto-conical needle-shaped light guide paths are implanted on the surface of a display panel such that output light from display elements propagate through the needle-shaped light guide paths through total reflection, while external light repeats reflections multiple times on wedge-shaped surfaces of the light guide paths, and attenuates. A light absorbing film is coated on the surfaces of the needle-shaped light guide paths to increase a contrast ratio. Thus, a higher contrast can be accomplished in a bright room, and cross-talk between adjacent pixels is reduced. A reduction in contrast due to display light is also alleviated by employing longer implanted needle-shaped light guide paths, and bringing light incident surfaces of the needle-shaped light guide paths into close contact with the surface of the display panel.
