Abstract:
1. A flat panel display for providing improved resolution through decreased reflection of incident light, comprising: a substrate; an array of electrodes disposed on said substrate for activating selected pixels of an array of pixels; a polarizer disposed on said electrode array for polarizing light received by said electrode array; a sheet of anti-reflective transparent material disposed on said polarizer, said transparent material having an index of refraction and a viewing surface of said sheet contoured by etching of said viewing surface of said sheet to define on said etched viewing surface a plurality of surface details distributed about the viewing surface; and a layer of anti-reflective coating disposed on said viewing surface and having an index of refraction no greater than the index of refraction of said transparent material, said transparent material and said anti-reflective coating producing very low actual and viewer-perceived reflectance while providing a clear and high contrast display of display-generated images to a viewer of said display.
