Problems solved by technology

[0008] In particular, LCDs can be implemented as transparent display devices using edge-type backlights, but transparent display devices employing LCDs show very low transmittance
Also, a transparent display device using an LCD has a disadvantage that transparency is lowered due to a polarizing plate used to realize black color, and external visibility is also negatively affected
[0009] In addition, transparent display devices using OLEDs have higher energy consumption than transparent display devices using LCDs
Moreover, it is difficult for transparent display devices to display pure black, but there is no contrast problem in dark environments
However, it has the disadvantage of reduced contrast in normal light environments

Embodiment approach

[0097] Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) and polymer network liquid crystals (PNLCs) used as light control devices of transparent display devices have different mixing ratios of monomers and liquid crystals. In general, PDLC has a higher percentage of monomer than PNLC. Thus, the PDLC realizes an initial light-shielding mode in the initial state of no voltage application, where incident light is scattered by randomly oriented liquid crystals and polymerized monomers. PDLCs also achieve a transparent mode by allowing incident light to be transmitted but not scattered when a voltage is applied and thereby vertically aligns the liquid crystals. If the PDLC is used as a light control device of a transparent display device, continuous application of voltage is required to achieve a transparent mode in standby.
