The display panel includes a first substrate and a reflective second substrate opposite to each other; a liquid crystal (LC) layer located between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first polarizer layer located at a side of the LC layer far away from the second substrate; a second polarizer layer located between the LC layer and the second substrate, the second polarizer layer being configured to allow transmitted light to have a first polarization direction. In the case where the LC layer is not applied with any voltage, light transmitted through the LC layer and the first polarizer layer has a second polarization direction, and the first polarization is substantially perpendicular to the second polarization direction.

A liquid crystal (LC) device includes an optical stack arrangement including from the viewing side: a first electrode component; a first LC alignment layer; an LC layer; a second LC alignment layer; and a second electrode component. A voltage is applied to the LC device to create a potential difference between the first and second electrode components to switch an alignment of liquid crystals of selected portions of the LC layer from a first state when no voltage is applied to a second state when the voltage is applied. The first and second LC alignment layers are vertical alignment layers that induce a vertical alignment of the liquid crystals such that the first state when no voltage is applied is a vertical alignment state, and the liquid LC crystals switch to a planar alignment state as the second state when the voltage is applied. The first and/or second electrode components is a dual layer segmented electrode component comprising a first layer of electrode elements separated by inter-electrode gaps and a second layer of electrode elements separated by inter-electrode gaps, the first layer of electrode elements and the second layer of electrode elements being spaced apart in a viewing direction by an insulator layer.

An object is to provide a technique capable of increasing a display quality of a liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal layer with a liquid crystal, an electrode applying voltage to the liquid crystal, and a pair of polarization plates sandwiching the liquid crystal layer. A first voltage is applied to a liquid crystal in a local area in the liquid crystal panel when a transmissivity of the local area is set to a predetermined local minimum value, and a second voltage is applied to a liquid crystal in a remaining area other than the local area in the liquid crystal panel when the transmissivity of the remaining area is set to a predetermined local minimum value. The first voltage is different from the second voltage.

The present disclosure provides a liquid crystal grating, a method for driving the liquid crystal grating, and a display device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by applying the second voltage and the third voltage that are mutually inverted with respect to the common electrode voltage, the situation in which a single phase voltage is applied to all grating electrodes corresponding to the power-on optical state can be avoided. Due to the capacitance of liquid crystal, the influence of the second voltage on the common electrode voltage and the influence of the third voltage on the common electrode voltage cancel each other out. Therefore, the fluctuation of the common electrode voltage caused by the capacitance of liquid crystal can be effectively reduced or eliminated, thereby avoiding the failure of the liquid crystal grating.
