<p>A display comprises a display device (4) having a first polariser (2) and a second polariser (3) (or between a first polariser (2) and a reflector in the case of a reflective display), and a display layer (1) disposed between the first polariser (2) and the second polariser (3) (or the reflector). A liquid crystal layer (7) is disposed between the display layer (1) and one of the first polariser (2) and the second polariser (3) (or between one of the first polariser (2 ) and the reflector). The liquid crystal molecules of at least one region of the liquid crystal layer 97) are switchable between a first state in which the display has a first display mode with a first viewing angle range and a second state in which the display has a second display mode having a second viewing angle range smaller than the first viewing angle range. In the second state, liquid crystal molecules of the at least one region are tilted with respect to the normal axis of the display over at least part of the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, and lie substantially parallel to a plane defined by the normal axis of the display and the transmission axis or absorption axis of the first polariser or one of the first and second polarisers.</p>
