Patent ID: 6961108

Claim:
A method of making an LCD viewable under all lighting condition from an LCD having a liquid crystal cell positioned between a first dichroic polarizer and a second dichroic polarizer, and a backlight assembly positioned behind the second dichroic polarizer, the method comprising the steps of: (a) positioning an anti-reflection layer with a surface of haze value less than 15% in front of the first dichroic polarizer; and (b) positioning a diffusing transflector between the backlight assembly and the second dichroic polarizer, the diffusing transflector comprising a diffusing element and a reflective polarizer, the diffusing element being a transparent substrate layer or a corrugated surface having a haze value of 10% to 85%, and the reflective polarizer being positioned with its transmission direction forming an angle of 0 degree, between 0 and 60 degrees, or between −60 and 0 degrees to the transmission direction of the second dichroic polarizer.
