Display apparatus with adjustable angles-of-view comprising backlight structures having an electrically adjustable lens array that adjusts backlight illumination

Apparatus, comprising:

• display layers for a display that include an array of pixels with an angle of view for displaying images, wherein the display layers include:
• first, second, and third polarizers;
• a first liquid crystal layer between the first and second polarizers that forms the array of pixels;
• and
• a second liquid crystal layer between the second and third polarizers;
• backlight structures for the display that provide backlight illumination that passes through the display layers, wherein the backlight structures include an electrically adjustable lens array that adjusts the backlight illumination;
• and
• electrode fingers that apply electric fields to the second liquid crystal layer and thereby adjust the angle of view for the display, wherein each of the electrode fingers completely extends across at least two pixels of the array of pixels.

Apparatus, comprising:

• display layers for a display that include an array of pixels for displaying images, wherein the display layers include:
• first and second polarizers;
• a liquid crystal layer between the first and second polarizers that forms the array of pixels;
• and
• a polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer;
• backlight structures for the display that provide backlight illumination that passes through the display layers, wherein the backlight structures include an electrically adjustable lens array that adjusts the backlight illumination and thereby adjusts an angle of view for a first region of the display to be different from an angle of view for a second region of the display;
• and
• electrode fingers that apply electric fields to the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer, wherein the electrode fingers extend across at least two pixels of the array of pixels.
