Eyewear with non-polarizing ambient light dimming

An electronic eyewear device including a spatial dimming pixel panel within an optical assembly that delivers improved backlighting conditions for displayed images. The spatial dimming pixel panel is spatially dimmed where an image is positioned on a display, and the unoccupied area of the display is not dimmed (undimmed), thereby unaltering the real-world view through that portion of the display. The spatial dimming pixel panel is made of multiple liquid crystal cells arranged in a gridded orientation with a dye-doped or guest-host liquid crystal system having a phase change mode with homeotropic alignment. The spatial dimming pixel panel absorbs nonpolarized light when a voltage is applied across the cells and passes nonpolarized light in the absence of a voltage across the cells.
