Provided is a display screen assembly. The display screen assembly includes a liquid crystal display screen, a backlight unit, a camera unit, and a reflective unit. The liquid crystal display screen has a first display region and a second display region connected to the first display region. The backlight unit is arranged correspondingly to the first display region. The camera unit is arranged correspondingly to the second display region. The reflective unit is arranged correspondingly to the second display region. The reflective unit is located in front of a field of view of the camera unit, and the reflective unit is configured to reflect ambient light, which is radiated on the reflective unit from an outside of the display screen assembly, to the second display region for display of images in the second display region.

An array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display apparatus are provided. The array substrate includes a display area and a non-display area in the periphery of the display area, the display area includes pixel regions, the display and non-display areas are provided with via holes, wherein each pixel region is provided, at a side facing a display side, with a reflection layer configured to reflect light irradiated thereon from an external light source to form a display image; and an anti-deterioration layer in contact with the reflection layer is provided in the via holes in the display and non-display areas. Thus, by using a new material, utilization of external light source is improved without additional masking process, and connection in via holes in the display area, and especially in the non-display area is achieved, which prevents deterioration of the via holes and poor contact resistance.

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.

Provided is an optical apparatus that is capable of switching between a state in which the optical apparatus can reflect light and a state in which the optical apparatus can output light and suppressing deterioration of display quality of a light reflection image. The optical apparatus includes: a light emitting device having a light emitting surface; an absorption type polarizing plate disposed opposite to the light emitting surface of the light emitting device; a liquid crystal optical element disposed between the light emitting device and the absorption type polarizing plate; a reflection type polarizing plate disposed between the light emitting device and the liquid crystal optical element; and an adhesive layer disposed on a surface of the reflection type polarizing plate that faces the light emitting device.

An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels configured to display images for a user. The electronic device may have an ambient light sensor for gathering ambient light information. A set of the pixels may overlap the ambient light sensor so that ambient light measurements may be made on ambient light passing through the set of pixels. Control circuitry in the electronic device may control light transmission through the set of pixels so that different light transmission levels can be used in different ambient light conditions. Directional light measurements may be made by moving transparent pixels dynamically across the surface of the display overlapping the light sensor and/or by using pixelated light modulators to vary the angle of light rays measured by the ambient light sensor.

Systems and methods for improving the brightness of a transparent display are disclosed herein. One embodiment collects ambient light using an array of diffraction gratings disposed on an external surface of a vehicle to produce filtered ambient light; collects internal light from the vehicle's headlights; filters the internal light to produce filtered internal light; generates primary-source light using a light-emitting-diode (LED) light source; and injects, into a transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display deployed in at least a portion of a window of the vehicle, the primary-source light, the filtered ambient light, and the filtered internal light in a color-synchronized manner. The filtered ambient light and the filtered internal light improve the brightness of the transparent edge-lit liquid crystal waveguide display.

A display panel and a display device are provided. The display panel includes a first base substrate; a second base substrate opposite to the first base substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second base substrates; a first alignment film at a side of the first base substrate facing the liquid crystal layer; a second alignment film at a side of the second base substrate facing the liquid crystal layer; a polarizer at a side of the first base substrate away from the liquid crystal layer; and a quarter-wave plate between the polarizer and the first base substrate.
