Abstract:
1. A display system comprising: a liquid crystal material disposed between a first electrode and a first substrate, wherein said first electrode is a common electrode and is operatively coupled to said liquid crystal material; said first substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes for receiving a plurality of pixel data values which represent an image to be displayed, wherein for each of said pixel electrodes, a first pixel electrode surface has a first distance relative to said first electrode and a second distance relative to a surface of said first substrate and a second pixel electrode surface has a third distance relative to said first electrode and a fourth distance relative to said surface of said first substrate, and wherein said first distance does not equal said third distance and said second distance does not equal said fourth distance and wherein said first pixel electrode surface and said second pixel electrode surface are substantially flat; wherein said first and second pixel electrode surfaces are reflective; and a dielectric layer disposed above said first pixel electrode surface and not above said second pixel electrode surface.
