Abstract
A liquid crystal display is disclosed. In one embodiment, the display includes i) a lower substrate comprising a lower transmissive region and a lower reflective region, wherein a reflecting layer is formed in the lower reflective region, and wherein the reflective layer has a lens shape which comprises a first concave portion and a first convex portion, ii) an upper substrate comprising an upper transmissive region and an upper reflective region, wherein a first overcoat layer is formed in the upper reflective region, and wherein the first overcoat layer has a lens shape which comprises a second concave portion and a second convex portion and iii) a liquid crystal layer positioned between the lower substrate and the upper substrate.
Claims20
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a lower substrate comprising a lower transmissive region and a lower reflective region, wherein a reflecting layer is formed in the lower reflective region, and wherein the reflective layer has a lens shape which comprises a first concave portion and a first convex portion;
- an upper substrate comprising an upper transmissive region and an upper reflective region, wherein a first overcoat layer is formed in the upper reflective region, and wherein the first overcoat layer has a lens shape which comprises a second concave portion and a second convex portion;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer positioned between the lower substrate and the upper substrate.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate configured to display an image;
- a second substrate, wherein each of the first and second substrates are separated into a transmissive region and a reflective region;
- a reflecting layer formed in the reflective region of the second substrate, wherein the reflecting layer comprises first and second surfaces opposing each other, and wherein each of the first and second surfaces has a first curved shape;
- a overcoat layer formed in the reflective region of the first substrate, wherein the overcoat layer comprises a first surface, wherein the first surface of the overcoat layer has a second curved shape which has substantially the same shape as the first curved shape, and wherein the second curved shape is substantially aligned with the first curved shape along a direction extending from the second substrate to the first substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate configured to display an image;
- a second substrate, wherein each of the first and second substrates are separated into a transmissive region and a reflective region;
- a reflecting layer formed in the reflective region of the second substrate, wherein the reflecting layer comprises first and second surfaces opposing each other, and wherein each of the first and second surfaces has a substantially sinusoidal wave shape;
- means for compensating a phase difference of the wavelength of light which passes through the reflecting layer, wherein the compensating means is formed at the first substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates.
