Abstract: A display may have upper and lower display layers. A layer of liquid crystal material may be interposed between the upper and lower display layers. The display layers may have substrates. The display layers may include a color filter layer having an array of color filter elements on a glass substrate and a thin-film transistor layer having a layer of thin-film transistor circuitry on a glass substrate. Dielectric layers within the display layers such as dielectric layers within the thin-film transistor layer may have differing indices of refraction. Reflections and color shifts due to index of refraction discontinuities may be minimized by interposing graded index dielectric layers between adjacent layers with different indices. The graded index layers may be formed from structures with a continuously varying index of refraction or structures with a step-wise varying index of refraction.

Abstract: A display may have a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. A layer of liquid crystal material may be located between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. Column spacers may be formed on the color filter layer to maintain a desired gap between the color filter and thin-film transistor layers. Support pads may be used to support the column spacers. The column spacers and support pads may have comparable thicknesses. Different column spacers may be located at different portions of the support pads to allow the support pad size to be reduced while ensuring adequate support.

Abstract: A layer of liquid crystal material may be interposed between display layers. The display layers may include thin-film transistor circuitry having subpixel electrodes for applying electric fields to subpixel portions of the layer of liquid crystal material. Subpixels of different colors may have different shapes and may have different liquid crystal layer thicknesses. These subpixel differences may be configured to slow the switching speed of subpixels of a certain color relative to other subpixels to reduce color motion blur when an object is moved across a black or colored background. The subpixels may have chevron shapes. Subpixels of a first color may have chevron shapes that are less bent than subpixels of second and third colors. In configurations with varying liquid crystal layer thicknesses, the subpixels of the first color may have thicker liquid crystal layers than the subpixels of the second and third colors.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a polarizer, a composite optical film, a phase retarder, and an adhesive layer. The LCD panel has a display surface and a rear surface opposite to the display surface. The polarizer is disposed on the rear surface. The composite optical film is disposed on the display surface. The composite optical film includes a quarter wave plate and at least one optical film located between the LCD panel and the quarter wave plate. The phase retarder has a plurality of phase retardation patterns separated from one another, and phase retardation of each phase retardation pattern is ?/2. The adhesive layer is disposed between the composite optical film and the phase retarder, and the phase retarder adheres to the quarter wave plate through the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an LCD panel, which the LCD panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate, includes following steps of: 1) forming an alignment layer on the first and second substrates, the alignment layer comprising PI and PAA; 2) post baking to convert PAA into PI, wherein the imidization rate of the alignment layer after the post baking is between 70% and 90%; 3) spreading a sealant in the margin area of the first substrate; 4) dropping a liquid crystal material upon the first substrate; and 5) gluing the first substrate and the second substrate under a low-pressure condition.
