Title: Visoko kontrastni tekočekristalni svetlobno preklopni element s širokim vidnim kotom [SL], High Contrast, Wide Viewing Angle LCD Light-Switching Element [EN]
Description: The invention suggests a new concept of an LC light switching element, which allows excellent angle compensation of dimming light by using a simple c-panel with negative double-refraction in the compensation layer. The concept is based on simultaneous application of a high angle symmetrical STN LC structure (preferably 180 degrees distortion) and maximum application of one of the two inherent ways of the passing of light (prefer- ably ordinary ray). The solution is best suited for various applications in switching light like protective welding filters, as well as multi-segment large displays, where it provides a high level of uniformity of dimming light in the closed (dark) state.
