23‐4: <i>Invited Paper:</i> Viewing Angle Improvement of Reflective Liquid‐Crystal Display by Optimizing the MRS Structure

Reflective LCDs often use an uneven reflective layer (micro‐reflective structure, MRS) to enhance diffuse reflection and thus improve the viewing angle. In order to design the MRS structure of the reflective layer more effectively, we have developed an optical simulation method that can be used to simulate the viewing angle and reflectivity of reflective LCDs. Through this simulation method, the MRS design can be optimized more easily and the best design parameters can be obtained. The optimized design of MRS can effectively improve the viewing angle of the reflective LCD, and the distribution of left and right brightness viewing angles becomes more symmetrical.
