Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is a reflection type liquid crystal display device. This invention includes a light modulation layer that changes its light scattering state when a voltage is applied between electrode faces. It also features at least one color separation layer positioned at the back of the liquid crystal and a reflection layer behind the color separation layer. The light modulation layer can be a polymer network type polymer scattered liquid crystal layer or a phase conversion type liquid crystal layer. The color separation mirror is characterized by its ability to reflect light within a predetermined wavelength range in the visible light region selectively. Additionally, a reflection preventing layer and an ultraviolet ray cut-off layer are arranged on the surfaces of the electrode faces.
Another notable patent by Taniguchi is a reflection type liquid crystal display device designed for converting incident light. This device comprises a pair of substrates with electrodes, a light scattering type liquid crystal layer between the substrates, and a reflection layer on the rear surface of the light scattering type liquid crystal layer. The light scattering type liquid crystal layer can switch between a scattering state and a transparent state based on the voltage level between the electrodes. It is capable of transmitting 60% or more of incident light, regardless of the voltage change. The reflection layer has a reflectivity range of 10 to 50% for reflecting forward scattered light.
