Abstract:
1. A display, comprising: a display panel providing a polarized image with a first polarization at a frame, wherein the display panel having a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and lines; and a switchable retarder configured on a light path of the polarized image, and the switchable retarder comprising: a first substrate configured on the display panel; a plurality of first electrode stripes; a plurality of second electrode stripes, wherein the first electrode stripes and the second electrode stripes are configured between the display panel and the first substrate and electrically independent from each other, and each of the first electrode stripes and one of the second electrode stripes defining a retardation region, wherein an area of each of the retardation regions corresponds to an area of numbers of the plurality of pixels; and a retardation medium configured between the display panel and the first substrate and located at a side of the first electrode stripes and a side of the second electrode stripes, wherein the first electrode stripes are located between the retardation medium and the first substrate, and the second electrode stripes are located between the retardation medium and the display panel, and extending directions of the first electrode stripes and the second electrode stripes are different, and the retardation medium located in each retardation region is controlled by an electric field formed between the corresponding first electrode stripe and the corresponding second electrode stripe to provide a retardation, such that the polarized imaged with a first polarization shown by all pixels passing through the switchable retarder is transformed into the polarized image with a second polarization or a third polarization shown by all the pixels at the frame, wherein the second polarization is different from the third polarization.
