Consisting of a single LC glass panel and two transparent backlights, the Reversible LCD displays a high contrast image on both its front and rear surface. Conventional backlights possess a non-transparent white diffusible light guide plate. However, the transparent backlight possesses a light guide plate that is transparent when switched off and bright when switched on—thanks to a patented design employing multiple tiny prisms.
  Mitsubishi Electric is continuing to investigate the demands of system manufacturers for future development of this breakthrough technology.
