Abstract
A new display technology has been developed that overcomes the losses in conventional liquid crystal displays (LCDs). At the heart of this new class of displays is a digital microshutter (DMS™) that eliminates the need for a polarizer that is required in LCDs. The DMS™ also has a response time of approximately 20 times faster than that of an LCD pixel, making it possible to produce a bright field sequential direct view display with increased color gamut (up to 145% NTSC, CIE 1976).
