  • Patent number: 12374153
    Abstract: An electronic device has a narrow viewing angle state and a wide viewing angle state, and includes a panel and a light source providing a light passing through the panel. In the narrow viewing angle state, the light has a first relative light intensity and a second relative light intensity. The first relative light intensity is the strongest light intensity, the second relative light intensity is 50% of the strongest light intensity, the first relative light intensity corresponds to an angle of 0°, the second relative light intensity corresponds to a half-value angle, and the half-value angle is between ?15° and 15°. In the narrow angle state, a third relative light intensity at each angle between 20° and 60° or each angle between ?20° and ?60° is lower than 20% of the strongest light intensity.
