Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of flat panel displays. And particularly to a flat panel displays composed of printable layers. An embodiment of the present invention comprises a first cross polarizer material layer; an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer printed upon the first polarizer layer with non-contact printing; a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PLDC) layer printed upon the ITO layer; data electrodes and select electrodes printed upon the PLDC layer; a plurality of thin film transistors (TFT) mechanically place on and electrically coupled to the data electrodes and select electrodes; and a second cross polarizer material layer coupled to a back light source for the flat panel display.

Abstract: A device adapted for use in a field sequential color display. The device may include first and second polarizers. A light scattering material may be disposed between the first and second polarizers. Additionally, the display may include a light source having a plurality of colors. Portions of the light scattering material are operable for selectable excitation. An excitation of a portion of the light scattering material is operable for controlling an amount of light of a color of the plurality of colors emitted by the display device. Further, sub-frames from which an image frame is composed may be addressed in a segmented fashion, whereby each sub-frame includes a plurality of segments. The light source is correspondingly pulsed in a segmented fashion. A given segment may be illuminated in a different color in each sub-frame. In this way, perceived flicker may be reduced.
