Abstract— Single‐polarizer reflective twisted‐nematic (RTN) liquid‐crystal modes offer larger viewing angles, higher contrast ratios and lower power dissipation compared to regular double‐polarizer transmissive‐ reflective liquid‐crystal implementations. The application of re‐crystallized metal‐induced unilaterally crystallized polycrystalline‐silicon thin‐film‐transistor (TFT) technology to realize active matrices and peripheral circuit components for hand‐held direct‐view RTN‐mode video displays is reported.
