Abstract

A device for improving a contrast of a liquid crystal screen by using an opaque mask. The display screen includes a first plate, on one face of which are deposited elements with controlled transparence or reflectance and thin film components controlling these elements, and a back plate covering a face of the first plate including the elements with controlled transparence or reflectance and the thin film components. The elements are separated by opaque bands into lines and columns forming a grid. The opaque bands are deposited at least partially on the plate including the elements and the thin film components.
