Liquid crystal layer enables to provide virtual display using mirror image of polarized display monitor for extension of screen region

摘要

There are various displays, for instance, a computer CRT or LCD monitor, a 3D TV monitor and so on. It is possible for the display unit to provide the same size of displaying area as the image screen on the panel. Thus the conventional display can show only one screen, but it is impossible to enlarge the size of a screen, for example twice. In this paper, we present an enlarging method of display area using a liquid crystal layer. Our extension method enables the observers to show the virtual image plane and to enlarge a screen area twice.
