A biaxial film-compensated thin homogeneous cell for reflective liquid crystal display

Abstract
Computer simulations on the display characteristics of a biaxial film compensated thin homogeneous liquid crystal cell are performed. Results indicate that the biaxial film-compensated reflective displays exhibit a relatively weak wavelength dispersion, wide viewing angle, high contrast ratio, low operation voltage, abundant gray scale, and fast response time. Their potential applications for reflective direct-view and color-sequential projection displays are emphasized.
