Patent number: 12038633Abstract: A privacy display comprises a polarised output spatial light modulator, reflective polariser, plural polar control retarders and a polariser. In a privacy mode of operation, on-axis light from the spatial light modulator is directed without loss, whereas off-axis light has reduced luminance. Further, display reflectivity is reduced for on-axis reflections of ambient light, while reflectivity is increased for off-axis light. The visibility of the display to off-axis snoopers is reduced by means of luminance reduction and increased frontal reflectivity to ambient light. In a public mode of operation, the liquid crystal retardance is adjusted so that off-axis luminance and reflectivity are unmodified.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: RealD Spark, LLCInventors: Michael G. Robinson, Graham J. Woodgate, Jonathan Harrold, Robert A. Ramsey
