DUAL MODE ELECTRO-OPTIC DISPLAYS

摘要

A display comprises, in this order: a layer (104) of an electro-optic medium switchable between transmissive and non-transmissive optical states; a shutter means (130) switchable between reflective and transmissive optical states; and a light source (102). The display can operate in either a reflective mode or a transmissive mode, and the whole area of the display functions in both modes.
