We have developed a reflective 3.5" QVGA color TFT-LCD with high reflection within viewing angle. For this, We have introduced new pixel design and asymmetric reflector. Based on these technical concepts, we get a high aperture ratio of 93.5% and much higher reflection up to 64% with a 3.5" prototype panel.

We designed and fabricated a monocolor holographic reflector for reflective LCDs with DuPont holographic photopolymer as a holographic recording media. By recording at 514 nm as holographic operating wavelength, it was possible to get the brightest image in green color. High contrast ratio is possible due to misalignment of the images with surface reflection and we achieved on/off contrast ratio of 6:1 by applying the fabricated holographic reflector to a TN-LC cell.

Reflectors for reflective LCDs are required to be able to control the direction of the image and viewing angle range for optimal display. To achieve these required characteristics, we performed elementary experiments on conventional reflectors, and theoretical analyzed the reflective property of rough surfaces by using scattering theory. We also proposed a reflector structure by which we can control the direction of the image and viewing angle characteristics simultaneously. If we fabricate and apply this reflector to the reflective LCDs, we can realize high performance display.

반사형 LCD는 주변광을 광원으로 사용하므로 높은 반사율과 주변환경을 고려한 시야각 특성을 요구한다. 이러한 반사형 LCD의 성능을 결정하는 요소로서는 반사판, 보상판 그리고 LCD의 구조가 있다. 반사형 LCD용 반사판은 최적의 디스플레이를 위해 반사되는 빛의 방향을 조절하고 사용자 위주의 시야각을 형성 할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 반사특성을 나타내기 위한 조건을 이해하고, 특히 넓은 시야각 확보를 위해 표면구조에 따른 중요 파라미터와 그 최적 조건을 찾아내어 이론적으로 접근하고자 하였다.$^{(1,2)}$ (중략)

The dependence of optical performances of collimating films such as prism films and pyramid films on the reflecting properties of reflection films were investigated by using a ray tracing technique. The angular distribution of the luminance and the on-axis luminance gain were obtained by using a simple backlight model composed of a reflection film, a virtual flat light source, and a collimating film. Three kinds of reflecting properties were used, which were a perfect Lambertian reflector, a perfect mirror reflector, and a reflector having both diffuse and specular properties. It was found that the on-axis luminance gain was the highest in the simulation where a mirror reflector was used, while the viewing angle was the widest where the Lambertian reflector was used. This result indicates that it is necessary to optimize the simulation condition such as the reflecting properties in order to predict the optical performances of collimating films accurately. Quantitative correlation between the optical characteristics of collimating films and the reflecting properties of reflection films can be used to improve simulation technique for the development and the optimization of collimating films for LCD backlight applications.

We have performed computer simulation to obtain electro-optic chracteristics of reflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using wide viewing angle LC mode, fringe field switching(FFS). Unlike other reflective LCD modes, in the FFS mode, the LC director in plance so an application to reflective display consisted of polarizer, LC layer and reflector is possible. when an incident light is 550mm, the optimal cell retardation value is 0.1365${\mu}$m and the efficiency of reflectivity is high over 90% with very little wavelength dispersion. Further, we have studied a new reflective display with polarizer, optical compensation film with half plate, LC plus reflector. The display with optimized cell parameters shows high contrast ratio (CR) over 130 with high light efficiency over 90% at normal direction and the CR greater than 5 exists over 60$^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions.

We designed a transflective-type LCD using a twisted VA mode. Generally, a VA mode had a blue shift due to intrinsic properties. We solved this problem using spectroscopic compensation film. We used the front scattering film and negative C-plate to improve characteristics of the viewing angle and contrast ratio. As a result, we found that proposed the transflective-type TVA mode had a contrast ratio of about 80:1, a response time of 22 ms, and a reflectance of 25% in comparison with the standard MgO reflector.

LED는 소비전력이 적고, 수명이 길어 LCD Backlight 용 광원으로 주목받고 있다. 현재 휴대전화기용 LCD에 많이 사용되고 있는 소형 LED Backlight의 경우 입광부에 LED의 개수가 육안으로 확인 가능할 정도의 Hot Spot이 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Reflector를 사용하여 광의 손실을 줄이고 도광판의 입광부에 산란 패턴을 설계하여 적용함으로써 도광판 입광부에서 122.7%의 휘도 상승효과와 73.4%의 휘도 균일도를 얻을 수 있었으며 이로 인해 Hot Spot을 감소시킬 수 있었다.
