A liquid crystal display including a first substrate, a first sub-pixel electrode on the first substrate and configured to receive a first voltage, a second sub-pixel electrode on the first substrate and configured to receive a second voltage, an insulating layer between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a common electrode on the second substrate, wherein the first sub-pixel electrode includes a first sub-region below the insulating layer and a second sub-region above the insulating layer, wherein the second sub-region of the first sub-pixel electrode includes a plurality of first branch electrodes, wherein the second sub-pixel electrode is above the insulating layer, and wherein a difference between the first voltage and a common voltage is greater than a difference between the second voltage and the common voltage.

Plasmonic pixels may provide an array of nanoparticles in a desired arrangement on a substrate, and may be overcoated with a top layer. The nanoparticles may be nanorods, nanoshells, nanoparticles, spiky shells, cubes, triangles, prisms, disks, nanowires, gratings, Fano structures, and/or other single or coupled nano structures. The array of nanoparticles may support two polarized surface plasmon resonances. Further, a plasmon response of the array of nanoparticles may be diffractively coupled. The nanoparticles may be arranged in a square or hexagonal array. The color of the plasmonic pixel may be controlled by the plasmon response of the nanoparticles, a distance between nanoparticles along axial directions, and/or a method of excitation.

A display apparatus includes an electrowetting element including a non-switchable color filter, a first support plate with a surface having a first part overlapped by the non-switchable color filter and a second part not overlapped by the non-switchable color filter, and a first and second fluid. A control apparatus of the display apparatus is operable to switch the first fluid between at least a first configuration with the first fluid in contact with the first part but not substantially in contact with the second part and a second configuration with the first fluid in contact with the second part and with the first fluid being at least one of: not substantially in contact with the first part or at least partly in contact with the first part.

The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable lighting device, having an enhance display device that is able to generate light sufficient to provide general illumination of a space in which the lighting device is installed and provide an image display. The general illumination is provided by additional light sources and/or improved display components of the enhanced display device.

A method for detecting noise includes determining whether a data value of a candidate pixel in a predetermined region of an image matches a first dynamic false contour (DFC) candidate value, determining whether a data value of at least one pixel adjacent to the candidate pixel matches a second DFC candidate value, and changing the data value of the candidate pixel the prior two determinations. The data value of the candidate pixel may be changed to a value in a lookup table. The first and second DFC candidate values may also be stored in one or more lookup tables.
