The method for producing a reflective layer of the present invention includes: a step 1 of applying a composition selected from the group consisting of the following composition X and the following composition Y onto a substrate to form a composition layer; a step 2 of heating the composition layer to align a liquid crystal compound in the composition layer into a cholesteric liquid crystalline phase state; a step 3 of cooling or heating the composition layer in a cholesteric liquid crystalline phase state to reduce a helical pitch; and a step 4 of irradiating at least a partial region of the composition layer with light, between the step 1 and the step 2, between the step 2 and the step 3, or after the step 3, to photosensitize a chiral agent A or a chiral agent C in the composition layer. Composition X: a composition including a liquid crystal compound, a chiral agent A whose helical twisting power is changed upon light irradiation, and a chiral agent B whose helical twisting power is increased upon cooling or heating. Composition Y: a composition including a liquid crystal compound and a chiral agent C whose helical twisting power is changed upon light irradiation and whose helical twisting power is increased upon cooling or heating.

A switchable device is provided. The switchable device includes an electro-optic element switchable between a darkened state and a transmissive state in addition to a sensor having a field of view at least partially defined by a perimeter portion of the electro-optic element.

Optically anisotropic molecules of the birefringent material disposed adjacent a first surface of the optical film are configured with a first pretilt angle in a range of greater than 10° and less than 80°, or in a range of greater than −80° and less than −10°. Optically anisotropic molecules of the birefringent material disposed adjacent a second surface of the optical film opposing the first surface are configured with a second pretilt angle in the range of greater than 10° and less than 80°, or in the range of greater than −80° and less than −10°.

A rear-view mirror includes a body, wherein the body includes a first polarizer, a dimming layer, a transflective polarizer, and a display component which are sequentially laminated. The dimming layer is configured to adjust a polarization direction of light passing through the dimming layer. By adjusting the polarization direction of the light passing through the dimming layer via the dimming layer, the reflectivity and transmittance of the transflective polarizer to the light can be changed, such that both an anti-glare function and a display function of the rear-view mirror can be achieved.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a forward-viewing camera located behind and viewing through a vehicle windshield, a rearward-viewing camera located at a rear of the vehicle, and a common image processor operable for processing captured image data. A video display screen is located within the interior cabin of the vehicle viewable by a driver of the vehicle. The common image processor utilizes object detection software at least during processing of first image data captured by the forward-viewing camera to detect at least one vehicle present exterior the equipped vehicle. Responsive to the vehicle being shifted into a reverse gear and while the driver is executing a reversing maneuver, video images derived from image data captured by at least the rearward-viewing camera are displayed on the video display screen.

A display device includes a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. A display element included in the first region has a function of reflecting visible light and a function of emitting visible light. A display element included in the second region has a function of emitting visible light. In an electronic device including the display device, the first region is located on a first surface (e.g., top surface) on which a main image is displayed, and the second region is located on a second surface (e.g., side surface) on which an auxiliary image is displayed.

An object is to provide a semiconductor device with low power consumption. The semiconductor device includes a controller, a register, and an image processing portion. The image processing portion has a function of taking image data from a frame memory and a parameter from the register and processing the image data by using the parameter. The frame memory has a function of retaining the image data while power supply is stopped. The register has a function of retaining the parameter while power supply is stopped. The controller controls power supply to the register, the frame memory, and the image processing portion. The register includes first and second scan chain registers. The first scan chain register stores a parameter related to a first display region. The second scan chain register stores a parameter related to a second display region. A parameter is changed by loading of data of the first or second scan chain register.

A display component includes a transflective layer, a reflective layer, and at least one sidewall. The reflective layer is arranged opposing to the transflective layer, and the at least one sidewall is arranged between the reflective layer and the transflective layer. The transflective layer, the reflective layer, and the at least one sidewall are together configured, upon an input of an incident light through the transflective layer, to output a light of a target color out through the transflective layer. One or more of the at least one sidewall comprise at least one light-conversion layer configured to emit a light of the target color upon excitement by a light of a different color shedding thereupon. The display component can be configured to output a red light, a green light, or a blue light.
