Abstract

A backlight with light-coupling-strip array was proposed for 2D/3D switchable display. To enhance the light efficiency of the light coupling structure, several cases of different structure shape were simulated. According to the simulation result, we choosed and made a backlight with inverted-trapezoid light coupling strips. The light efficiency is 6 times larger than that of diffuser strips made by laser scribing.
