In this study, a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with the capability of switchable viewing-angle is proposed. The contrast ratio of the LCD mainly depends on the transmittance of the bright state and the dark state. By using the improved structure of the pixel electrodes, the viewing angle of the LCD can be switched between the wide viewing-angle mode and the narrow-viewing angle mode. Based on the proposed three-electrode structure, the liquid-crystal orientation of the LCD is controlled to generate different light-leakage conditions at large viewing angles, thus, resulting in the switch of the viewing angle of the LCD. The proposed structure, which has the slim outline and low-cost of the LCD, is a simple way to control the viewing angle of the LCD. Potential applications for the protection of personal privacy are emphasized.
