Patent ID: 7847884

Claim:
A display panel, comprising: a first substrate, wherein a first device layer is disposed thereon; a first alignment layer, disposed on a surface of the first substrate and covers the first device layer; a first multi-layer film, disposed on a surface of the first alignment layer and covers the first alignment layer, wherein the first multi-layer film comprises at least two liquid crystal layers which directly contact to each other; a second substrate, disposed on an opposite side of the first substrate, a second device layer being disposed on the second substrate; a second alignment layer, disposed on a surface of the second substrate and covers the second device layer; a second multi-layer film, disposed on a surface of the second alignment layer and covers the second alignment layer, wherein the second multi-layer film comprises at least two liquid crystal layers which directly contact to each other; and a display medium, sandwiched between the first and the second substrates, wherein at least one of the at least two liquid crystal layers of the first and the second multi-layer films is a patterned liquid crystal layer comprising at least two patterned regions characterized by different liquid crystal alignment properties.
