发明名称 Switchable liquid crystal light guide and liquid crystal display apparatus using the same
摘要 A light illumination apparatus comprising a light source on a lateral side of a light-pipe, and a reflector on the backside of the light-pipe, further comprising an air layer or the like between the light-pipe and the reflector, and, in order that light coming from a light source into the light-pipe is emitted from a light emission plane, the apparatus further comprising a light scattering control layer disposed at a portion of the light-pipe and having directivity in a direction substantially normal to the light emission plane, a means for substantially removing light scattering characteristics of a predetermined region of the light scattering control layer so as to satisfy the conditions for totally internal reflection of the incident light from the light source at an interface of the light-pipe, and a means for moving the predetermined region, wherein the time average amount of emitted light is substantially equal in each of all light emission regions, and there is time when the light emissive region substantially does not emit light; and a liquid crystal display apparatus using the same.
