Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:crossed polarizers;upper and lower substrates, each having inward-looking and outward-looking surfaces, between said crossed polarizers;an array of sub-pixel-sized microcompensators, providing phase correction for red, green, and blue light, on an inward-looking surface of one of the substrates;sub-pixel-sized red, green, and blue filters on said red, green, and blue microcompensators respectively;a layer of transparent, electrically conductive, material over one of said inward-looking surfaces;means, over the other inward-looking surface, for applying an electric field normal to any one of said color filters;orientation layers over said field application means and over said layer of transparent conductive material; anda layer of liquid crystal between said orientation layers.
