Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A matt surface (7) of a display screen (2) is converted to an optically flat surface (11), for example, via an epoxy resin coating (10) or the like which has a refractive index equal to that of the matt surface (7). Alternatively the matt surface (7) may be removed from the screen (2) and replaced with an , optically smooth surface. The matt surface may be a diffusive surface (7) formed on a birefringent film (6) of an LCD screen (2). The display screen (2) is the front screen of a multilevel three-dimensional display comprising layered screens (2, 3), and altering the surface from matt to flat reduces the blurring of displayed images.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 16, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 16, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 16, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
