  • Publication number: 20230213797
    Abstract: A display device for switching a viewing angle, can include a display panel, a polarizing plate disposed on the display panel, a light path control cell disposed on the polarizing plate and including a liquid crystal layer, and a light path conversion film disposed on the light path control cell and including a plurality of molecules including a polarization alignment dye. An absorption axis of the polarizing plate can be substantially perpendicular to an absorption axis of the light path conversion film. The display device can switch to a shared mode or a shielding mode depending on whether or not a voltage is applied to the light path control cell, thereby providing the display device that switches its viewing angle effectively.

  • Patent number: 7522136
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device and a driving method thereof for preventing a color distortion phenomenon in a field-sequential driving system are disclosed. In the liquid crystal display device, a data driver sequentially supplies a green data signal, a red data signal and a blue data signal to the data lines. A gate driver applies a scanning pulse to gate lines. A light source irradiates a green light onto a liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the green data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell, irradiates a red light onto the liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the red data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell, and irradiates a blue light to the liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the blue data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell.
