Abstract

With the increasing demands for hand-held devices with lightweight and low-power-consumption displays, the role of reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is becoming more and more important. Especially, the single polarizer mode is considered as a suitable structure for reflective LCDs because it can provide high brightness. However, the single-polarizer LCDs have demerit in that the contrast is lower than double-polarizer LCDs because of the light leakage in thedark state. (omitted)
