Not a clue from me, mostly because I'm not sure of the relationship between
the two. I suppose you are talking about liquid crystal displays which
change in appearance dependant on viewing angle. If that's the case, the
nearest thing to that effect in POV might be 'reflection' itself with which
minimum and maximum values are used together and varies according to viewing
or surface angle.
