The present application discloses a liquid crystal display apparatus and a fabricating method thereof, a back light and a fabricating method thereof. The liquid crystal display apparatus includes a base substrate; a liquid crystal layer; and an anisotropic grating on a side of the liquid crystal layer distal to the base substrate. The anisotropic grating includes a plurality of barriers and a plurality of slits arranged alternately. The anisotropic grating is configured to separate incident light into light of a first color, light of a second color, and light of a third color, and configured to emit the light of the first color, the light of the second color, and the light of the third color at different exit angles, respectively.

Provided is a liquid crystal display device that can achieve high-speed response in both rise time and fall time and has a high transmittance, a high contrast ratio, and excellent viewing angle characteristics. The liquid crystal display device provides color display using a field sequential driving system where each frame period includes subframe periods and includes: a liquid crystal display panel; a light source that irradiates the liquid crystal display panel with lights of multiple colors; and a controller that drives the light source to time-divisionally irradiate the liquid crystal display panel with the lights of multiple colors. The liquid crystal display panel includes, sequentially in the following order: a first substrate including pixel electrodes; a first alignment film; a liquid crystal layer; a second alignment film; and a second substrate including a common electrode.

A liquid crystal retardation film, a polarizing plate for light emitting displays including the same, and a light emitting display including the same are provided. The liquid crystal retardation film includes: a first retardation layer having no alignment layer, a UV absorbent primer layer, and a second retardation layer sequentially formed in the stated order, wherein each of the first retardation layer and the second retardation layer may be a liquid crystal layer.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes, a first transparent substrate having a side surface and a main surface, a first alignment film disposed along the main surface, a first transparent layer located between the first transparent substrate and the first alignment film, a second transparent substrate, a pixel electrode electrically connected to a switching element, a liquid crystal layer, and a light-emitting element opposed to the side surface. The first transparent layer overlaps a part of the pixel electrode and has a lower refractive index than the first transparent substrate.

A privacy display comprises a polarised output spatial light modulator, reflective polariser, plural polar control retarders and a polariser. A birefringent surface relief diffuser structure is arranged to transmit light from the display with high transparency and provide diffuse reflection of ambient light to head-on display users. In a privacy mode of operation, on-axis light from the spatial light modulator is directed without loss and with low diffusion, whereas off-axis light has reduced luminance and increased diffusion. Further, overall display reflectivity is reduced for on-axis reflections of ambient light, while reflectivity is increased for off-axis light. The visibility of the display to off-axis snoopers is reduced by means of luminance reduction, increased frontal reflectivity and diffusion of ambient light. In a public mode of operation, the liquid crystal retardance is adjusted so that off-axis luminance and reflectivity are unmodified.

In some embodiments, the transmittance-variable device includes a retardation film, a liquid crystal alignment film, and a liquid crystal layer configured to implement a twist orientation mode, wherein the retardation film, the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer are sequentially arranged, wherein a twist angle (T) is in a range of 50 degrees to 180 degrees, and wherein the smallest angle A between a slow axis of the retardation film and an alignment direction of the liquid crystal alignment film satisfies Equation 1 when a product (Δnd) of a refractive index anisotropy (Δn) and a thickness (d) is 0.7 μm or less, and satisfies Equation 2 when the product (Δnd) is more than 0.7 μm.
