Significante of reflection reduction in a TN display for colour visualisation

This paper contains the results of theoretical considerations about light propagation through the real TN display working in reflective and negative mode. This mode provides us with a possibility to obtain a colour image. We have done mathematical and numerical analyses of a propagation of light wave through liquid crystal (LC) displays with antireflective layer, glass planes, conductive layers, LC layer and polarisers. We have taken into account real conditions of a display operation, i. e., spectral properties of all components, optical anisotropic and dichroic properties of LC layer, reflections from all phase borders and also spectral characteristics of light source and sensitivity of human eye.
