    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel and a display device are provided. A first metal line is disposed on a first substrate of the liquid crystal display panel. An orthographic projection of the first metal line on a pixel electrode covers a first trunk electrode. A voltage difference V1 between the first metal line and a common electrode is small, so that a liquid crystal molecule corresponding to the first metal line does not deflect. In this way, a problem of an insufficient liquid crystal recovery force when the liquid crystal display panel is pressed is resolved, eliminating poor liquid crystal diffusion as a result of pressing and resulting in improving display quality.

  • Patent number: 11778858
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of display pixels. To increase the efficiency of the display, the display may also include an array of microlenses. Each microlens may overlap and focus light from a respective pixel. Pixels for one of the colors of light may have a high aspect ratio. These pixels may be covered by two microlenses or a single cylindrical microlens. The microlens dimensions may be tuned to mitigate non-uniformities in the brightness profiles of the pixels. The microlens edges may be laterally shifted towards or away from the center of the light-emitting areas to either reduce or increase the focusing power of the microlens. The microlenses and color filter elements in each pixel may also be shifted to account for the chief ray angle of the display.

  • Patent number: RE49613
    Abstract: A screen having a free-viewing mode and a restricted-viewing mode, comprising a backlight emitting light into an unrestricted angular range in the free-viewing mode, and into a restricted angular range in the restricted-viewing mode. A transmissive imager is in front of the backlight. Light sources are outside the display area of the imager, and a transparent plate-shaped light guide scattering particles distributed therein is in front of the imager. In the free-viewing mode, the light sources are off, so that light from the backlight passing the imager passes the light guide unaffected. In the restricted-viewing mode, the lights are on, so that light radiating into a restricted angular range and passing the imager is superimposed by light that is scattered into the viewing space due to irradiation of light from the light guide. Thereby, the visibility of an image on the imager is reduced outside the restricted angular range.
