A tunable light-mixing liquid crystal lens-like cell (LCLC) is proposed to limit color shift and improve the viewing angle performance. The LCLC is attached on a collimated display, which is introduced to avoid the blue shift of OLED or phase difference of LCD. At voltage on-state, the incident light with low color shift is mixed by the LCLC to ensure the low color shift at different viewing angles, the brightness is also diffused to large viewing angles. At voltage off-state, the incident light is invariant after it is transmitted the LCLC. Using LCLC, display can meet more complex requirement owing to the tunable property of brightness distribution.
