A new moiré pattern appearing in the off-state of a display system with a reflecting surface under illumination of an external ambient light source was analyzed. The origin of the new moiré pattern was attributed to the moiré pattern which is formed on the reflecting surface by external light and plays as a new light source with intensity profile. Configuring an optically equivalent system with no reflecting surface layer was proposed in order to overcome the limitation of new simulation program, which was previously proved to be very efficient in computation time but unable to handle a non-sequential system containing a reflecting surface. It was verified that the new simulation algorithm combined with an equivalent configuration could provide an accurate and computation time-efficient analyses even for a system containing non-sequential stacked layer such as a reflecting surface.
