PASSIVE DAYLIGHT-COUPLED BACKLIGHT WITH TURNING FILM HAVING PRISMS WITH CHAOS FOR SUNLIGHT VIEWABLE DISPLAYS

摘要

A passive daylight-coupled display having an LCD panel, a diffuser, a turning film behind the LCD panel, and a curved reflector behind the turning film. For passive backlighting, the diffuser transmits daylight to the reflector, which reflects the daylight to the LCD panel through the turning film and provides for substantially uniform distribution of the daylight on the LCD panel for backlighting it. The turning film has prisms with chaos for an improved viewer experience.
