Abstract
A display including a display panel and a switchable retarder is provided. The switchable retarder disposed on a light path of a polarized image having a first polarization provided by the display panel and includes a first substrate, first electrode stripes, second electrode stripes, and a retardation medium. The first electrode stripes and the second electrode stripes are disposed between the display panel and the first substrate, and are electrically independent from each other. A retardation region is defined by each first electrode stripe and one second electrode stripe. The retardation medium is located at a side of the first electrode stripes and at a side of the second electrode stripes, and is controlled by an electric field in the corresponding retardation region such that each retardation region provides a retardation. Accordingly, the polarized image having the first polarization is transformed into the polarized image having a second polarization.
