52.3: Direct‐viewing Display Using Alignment‐controlled PDLC and Holographic PDLC

Abstract

Abstract A novel direct‐viewing display using illumination from guided light is proposed. By analyzing usual normally scattering PDLC, we found that use of high‐speed alignment‐controlled PDLC combined with a field‐sequential color technique is promising for full‐color moving‐picture displays. Moreover, introducing a holographic structure improves the contrast and viewing angle characteristics.
