Abstract

A transflective assembly includes an absorbing polarizer and a first reflective polarizer disposed to reflect at least a portion of light transmitted through the absorbing polarizer. A second reflective polarizer is disposed between the absorbing polarizer and the first reflective polarizer. The second reflective polarizer reflects light transmitted through the first reflective polarizer having a polarization absorbable in the absorbing polarizer, and transmits light transmitted through the absorbing polarizer towards the first reflective polarizer.
