A luminescent device having first and second light-emitting regions, wherein the first light-emitting region emits, in use, a first polarised light and the second light-emitting region emits, in use, a second polarised light different from the first polarised light.

Triazine compounds and their use

A display device comprising a plurality of picture elements arranged in rows and columns, each picture element being switchable between at least two states having different optical output characteristics, a plurality of row and column drivers, connected to said rows and columns respectively, for switching said picture elements between said states, wherein at least one switch is provided for switching at least one of said drivers between a first configuration in which the driver drives at least one row or column, and a second configuration, different from said first configuration, in which the driver drives at least two rows or columns.

Switchable display devices

A display device has two or more display elements. The display device is addressed by applying a set of data signals for one display element and a strobe signal for a second display element simultaneously to a layer of electrodes common to both display elements. Preferentially, the strobe signal for the second element is applied to one electrode, and the data signals for the first element are applied to all other electrodes. The data signals for the one display element are controllable independently from the strobe signal for the second display element.

Method of driving a display device, and a display device

A light modulating device comprises a plurality of data electrodes, a plurality of strobe electrodes, pixels at the intersections of the strobe and data electrodes, and addressing means for supplying data signals to the data electrodes in successive data selection periods and for supplying strobe signals to the strobe electrodes to set the transmission levels of the pixels in dependence on the data signals supplied to the pixels during each data selection period. Each pixel comprises a pair of subelements, and the addressing means is arranged to address the subelements of the pair by 1:3 spatial dither and to supply different strobe signals to each of the subelements during different bits of 1:1 spatial or temporal dither within the same data selection period. The transmission level of each subelement is determined by the data signal applied to the subelement in the data selection period in association with the strobe signal applied to the corresponding spatial or temporal dither bit.

Light modulating devices

A liquid crystal display includes glass cell walls on which are formed alignment layers. The cell is filled with liquid crystal material, such as FLC material. Chemical bonds are formed between the alignment layers and the adjacent liquid crystal layers so that the liquid crystal layers are bonded to the alignment layers in order to increase resistance to mechanical damage.
