  • Particles 80 may be, for example, inorganic particles (e.g., titanium dioxide particles or other particles) having an index of refraction that differs from that of polymer 78.
  • Particles 80 may have any suitable shape. With an illustrative configuration, particles 80 may have a shape (e.g., an elliptical cross section) that promotes asymmetric diffusion of reflected light 32R.
  • Surface texture 82 may also be formed by embossing or other techniques to enhance the asymmetric diffusion properties of diffuser 62.
  • Surface texture 82 may be formed on either side of diffuser 62 (e.g., facing the sun and/or facing panel 14P). Due to asymmetric diffusion properties of diffuser 62, incoming sunlight 32 that is angled at angle Bl with respect to the X axis (which is parallel to the surface normal of layer 62) will produce reflected light 32R whose principal direction of propagation 76 is angled at a larger angle B2 with respect to the X axis (e.g., B2 will be larger than Bl). This may help enhance the ability of louver layer 64 to block reflected light 32R, because light traveling along direction 76 will tend to be blocked more by the louvers of layer 64 than light traveling at an angle that is oriented more parallel to the X axis.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are cross-sectional side views of illustrative louver layers 64 for display 28.
  • louvers 60 may be configured to preferentially allow steeply angled incoming sunlight 32 to pass through the gaps between adjacent louvers and pass through layer 64, while blocking corresponding light 32R that is reflected downwardly and outwardly from panel 14P.

  • louvers 60 may be configured to preferentially allow steeply angled incoming sunlight 32 to pass through the gaps between adjacent louvers and pass through layer 64, while blocking corresponding light 32R that is reflected downwardly and outwardly from panel 14P.
  • this light-blocking property is achieved using opaque louvers 60 with triangular cross-sectional shapes, but other shapes of louvers 60 may be used, provided that the louvers 60 are oriented so that incoming sunlight 32 (e.g., sunlight that is incoming into display 28 from the exterior of vehicle 10 at an elevated angle as expected when the sun is high in the sky) is allowed to pass while corresponding light 32R that is produced when the incoming sunlight reflects from panel 14P (e.g., from pixel array 14A and from optics 58) is blocked (e.g., by being absorbed by the opaque material making up louvers 60).
  • Louvers 60 may exhibit cross-sectional dimensions that are generally much less than the lateral dimensions of pixels P.
  • louvers 60 may have cross-sectional dimensions on the orders of tens of microns. The gaps between adjacent louvers 60 may have this order of magnitude. As a result, louvers 60 may be about 10 or 100 times smaller than pixels P.
  • pixels P and louvers 60 may be used, if desired.
  • louvers 60 are formed within an outward-facing coating of polymer 90 supported on the outer (exterior-facing) surface of polymer film 92 (e.g., a polymer substrate formed from a material such as polyethylene terephthalate).
  • polymer film 92 e.g., a polymer substrate formed from a material such as polyethylene terephthalate.
  • louvers 60 are formed in coating 90 on the inner surface of polymer film 92.
  • louvers 60 may be formed directly from lines of opaque material on the inner surface of cover 68 (e.g., in parallel horizontal grooves formed in cover 68).
  • louvers 60 may be minimized. These light reflections from louvers 60 may be minimized, for example, by forming louvers 60 and polymer 90 from index-matched materials (e.g., first and second respective materials with first and second respective refractive indices with magnitudes that differ by less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, less than 0.2%, or other suitable amount). These light reflections may also be minimized by texturing the surfaces of louvers 60. Louvers 60 that are index matched to polymer 90 and that have textured surfaces will generally not reflect light 32R, so more of light 32R will be absorbed by louvers 60 and will therefore be prevented from exiting display 28 and being viewed by viewer 34.
  • index-matched materials e.g., first and second respective materials with first and second respective refractive indices with magnitudes that differ by less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, less than 0.2%, or other suitable amount.
  • louver layer 64 tends to absorb solar energy. Excessive solar loading on the materials forming louver layer 64 may degrade louver layer 64. To enhance reliability, it may be desirable to reduce solar loading on layer 64. This may be accomplished by including a dichroic coating on the outwardly facing surface of louver layer 64 (e.g., at the interface between layer 64 and cover 68) and/or by including a dichroic coating on the inner surface of cover 68 (at the interface between layer 64 and cover 68) and/or the outer surface of cover 68.
