Abstract
A method of operating a light emitting, image display device that is configured to normally display to one or more viewers, a corresponding image thereof with a relatively wide viewing angle and relatively good contrast, includes selectively outputting to one or more peripheral portions of the wide viewing angle, privacy-protecting light rays of sufficient luminance to substantially reduce, for corresponding viewers viewing from the respective one or more peripheral portions of the relatively wide viewing angle, the otherwise normal and relatively good contrast of the image so as to thereby inhibit viewing of the image from the respective one or more peripheral portions. In one embodiment, the method is carried out using an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel and a light source part disposed on a backside of the OLED panel and comprising at least one light guide plate and at least one light source.
