| 20090213147 | SINGLE VIEW DISPLAY - A single view display of reduced power consumption is provided. The display comprises a display device for displaying the single view and an optical system for concentrating light modulated by the single view into a reduced angular range. A viewer direction determining system determines the direction of a viewer relative to the display and controls the display device and the optical system so that the angular range includes the direction of the viewer. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100066960 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A liquid crystal device comprises a first alignment surface which induces a high pretilt greater than 45° but less than 90°; a typical value is 85°. The pretilt has a component parallel to the surface pointing in a predetermined direction. A second alignment surface induces a low pretilt which is less than 45° but greater than 0°; a typical pretilt is 5°. The low pretilt has a component parallel to the second surface which also points in the predetermined direction. A layer of crystal material is disposed in between the first and second surfaces. A novel liquid crystal mode is thus provided and is referred to as the “splay-twist mode”. Such a device may be used in a switchable public/private display. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20110018860 | DISPLAY - A display is provided having private and public viewing modes. The display comprises a display device and a parallax optic ( | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110122329 | DISPLAY - A display for providing several viewing modes of different angular viewing characteristics comprises a display device and a passive optical device ( | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110175936 | ANGULAR DEPENDENT PIXELS FOR TRICK VIEW - A display device having a display panel for displaying an image by spatial light modulation includes a plurality of pixel groups, each pixel group including a first pixel having a first type of luminance against viewing angle response, and a second pixel having a second type of luminance against viewing angle response, wherein the first and second luminance against viewing angle responses are different from one another. The display device further includes a controller operatively coupled to each of the plurality of pixel groups, wherein the controller is configured to drive each of the plurality of pixel groups such that on average the plurality of pixel groups simultaneously provide a predetermined on-axis luminance and an predetermined off-axis luminance for a region of the image corresponding to each pixel group. | 07-21-2011 |
