Abstract

A switchable privacy display device comprises a spatial light modulator comprising an in-plane display polariser, an out-of-plane polariser and a polarisation switch arranged between the in-plane display polariser and the out-of-plane polariser. The display achieves high image visibility to an off-axis user in a wide-angle mode and high image security to an off-axis snooper in privacy mode of operation.
