Abstract

The optical performance of displays benefit from wave-optics phenomena. For example, microgrooves are added to enhance emission efficiency and anisotropic materials can be used for antireflection coatings. Although commercial display simulation tools capture wave-optics behavior of antireflection films, the properties of microgrooves cannot be fully captured. On the other hand, wave-optics simulation methods such as finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) can model microgrooves but hard to simulate antireflection films due to large thicknesses. This article presents a workflow considering both antireflection coatings and microgrooves in one systematic simulation. It’s then straightforward to apply ray-tracing simulations, such as photometric and human perception analysis.
