Liquid crystal display with touch panel having internal front polarizer
First Claim
1. A touchscreen display comprising a transparent touch panel and a liquid crystal display wherein the liquid crystal display comprises a front panel with functional layers, including at least one internal front polarizer, a liquid crystal layer, and a rear panel containing functional layers, wherein the transparent touch panel is secured directly onto the outer surface of the front panel, and the front panel includes a single substrate and said internal front polarizer is placed between said single substrate and said liquid crystal layer;
- wherein the liquid crystal is a supertwisted nematic and the functional layers of the rear panel include a polarizer, the transmission axis of the front polarizer is oriented at an angle of 45.0±
2.5°
relative to the director of liquid crystal molecules in the layer adjacent to the front polarizer surface, the transmission axis of the rear polarizer is at an angle of 60.0±
5.0°
to that of the front polarizer, and the twist angle of the liquid crystal is 240–
250°
, and the birefringence of the liquid crystal amounts to 820–
860 nm; and
a compensating optical retardation film with an optical path length difference of 570.0±
10.0 nm is located in front of the rear polarizer at an angle of 40.0±
5.0°
from the transmission axis of the rear polarizer;
said front polarizer possess neutral absorption spectrum with a transmission of 25–
35% in the entire visible range and exhibits uniform loss over virtually all direction and provides a contrast ratio of 40–
50 in the interval of azimuthal angles from 0 to 60 degrees.
