A new type see-through display using a PDLC(Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) paneland a transparent illuminator constructed by an optical guide plate with a fluorescent lamp has been developed. Foward scattering mode of PDLC was applied to forming process of visual image. Characteristics of haze optically induced in PDLC panel under illumination were investigated. From the results a method of reducing haze level was presented. Illuminant of an image on a display is up to 850cd/m2. Trarnsparency of a see-through display is achieved to 87% / 0.1% (On/off state).
