Abstract:
1. A reconfigurable liquid crystal display comprising: a polarizer for coupling to a beam of incident light to polarize said beam of light with respect to a polarization angle; a plurality of liquid crystal display regions operably coupled to said polarizer, wherein a plurality of pixels are arrayed on each of said display regions and said display regions are superimposed upon each other to create a one-to-one correspondence between pixels on said superimposed display regions; an analyzer coupled to said plurality of liquid crystal display regions and said polarizer to pass a gray-scale portion of said beam of polarized light transmitted as a function of said polarization angle; and a means to reconfigure at least one of said liquid crystal display regions, wherein said means is monolithically formed adjacent to at least one of said liquid crystal display regions.
