Systems for displaying images

1 . A system for displaying images comprising a dual domain electrically controlled birefringence liquid crystal display (ECB-LCD) panel having two domains, each domain comprising different liquid crystal orientations.

2 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a pair of uniaxial ¼λ compensation films separately disposed on both sides of the ECB-LCD panel;

a pair of uniaxial ½λ compensation films separately disposed on each of the pair of uniaxial ¼λ compensation films; and

a pair of polarizers separately disposed on each of the pair of uniaxial ½λ compensation films.

3 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two domains are symmetrical structures.

4 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dual domain electrically controlled birefringence liquid crystal display (ECB-LCD) panel comprises:

a first substrate with a patterned first electrode thereon;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate with a gap interposed therebetween, wherein a patterned second electrode is disposed on the second substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed in the gap between the first and the second substrates.

5 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the patterned first electrode and the patterned second electrode are staggered.

6 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a substrate and an alignment layer disposed thereon, wherein the alignment layer comprises two symmetric regions, each of which provides liquid crystal molecules different orientations.

7 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a controller coupled to the dual domain ECB-LCD panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input.

8 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an input device coupled to the controller to control the dual domain ECB-LCD panel to render an image.

9 . A system for displaying images comprising:

a dual domain electrically controlled birefringence liquid crystal display (ECB-LCD) panel comprising:

a first substrate with a patterned first electrode thereon;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate with a gap interposed therebetween, wherein a patterned second electrode is disposed on the second substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed in the gap between the first and the second substrates.

10 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:

a first uniaxial ¼λ compensation film disposed on an outer surface of the first substrate;

a second uniaxial ¼λ compensation film disposed on an outer surface of the second substrate;

a first uniaxial ½λ compensation film disposed on an outer surface of the first uniaxial ¼λ compensation film;

a second uniaxial ½λ compensation film disposed on an outer surface of the second uniaxial ¼λ compensation film;

a first polarizer disposed on an outer surface of the first uniaxial ½λ compensation film; and

a second polarizer disposed on an outer surface of the second uniaxial ½λ compensation film.

11 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the dual domain ECB-LCD panel comprises two domains, each domain comprising different liquid crystal orientations.

12 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the two domains are symmetrical structures.

13 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the patterned first electrode and the patterned second electrode are staggered.

14 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a controller coupled to the dual domain ECB-LCD panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input.

15 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising an input device coupled to the controller to control the dual domain ECB-LCD panel to render an image.
