Display assembly with increased duty cycle and reduced power consumption

Abstract

A display assembly is provided. The display assembly includes a polarizing optical component configured to reflect a light having a first polarization and transmit a light having a second polarization orthogonal to the first polarization. The display assembly also includes a ferroelectric liquid crystal (“FLC”) display panel configured with a display frame that includes a normal sub-frame and a compensation sub-frame. The display assembly also includes a polarization switch disposed between the FLC display panel and the polarizing optical component. The display assembly further includes a controller configured to control the polarization switch to operate at a non-switching state during the normal sub-frame and operate at a switching state during the compensation sub-frame.
