摘要 |
A multipurpose liquid crystal display, suitable for use as a reflective display and as overhead projection panel, includes (a) a first transparent electrode means; (b) a second transparent electrode means; (c) a display medium positioned between the first and second transparent electrode means, which display medium is switchable between a first state in which incident light is scattered and a second state in which the amount of such scattering is reduced; (d) a retroreflector removably positioned behind the second transparent electrode means; and (e) means for removably positioning the retroreflector behind the second transparent electrode. Preferably, the display medium comprises positive dielectric anisotropy, operationally nematic liquid crystals dispersed in a containment medium.
