  • Patent number: 7724332
    Abstract: Transflective liquid crystal display devices and fabrication methods thereof. A single cell gap transflective liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate with a reflective region and a transmissive region. A second substrate opposes the first substrate. A liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second substrates. A reflective structure is disposed on the first substrate, thereby forming a recess at the transmissive region. A first alignment layer is conformably formed on the first substrate covering the reflective structure, thereby forming a second recess at the reflective region. The second recess is filled with a second alignment, wherein the first and second alignment layers provide different orientations and pre-tilt angles for the liquid crystal layer.

    Abstract: The invention relates to optically compensated bend (OCB) mode liquid crystal display devices and fabrication methods thereof. The OCB mode liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A first alignment layer is disposed on the first substrate, and a second alignment layer is disposed on a second region of the first substrate exposing the first alignment layer on a first region. A third alignment is disposed on the second substrate. Alignment orientations of liquid crystal molecules on the first and second alignment layers are different. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the OCB mode liquid crystal display, a splay to bend transition boundary is formed between the first and the second regions.

  • Publication number: 20080123045
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a transflective liquid crystal device is proposed. In various embodiments, two types of liquid crystal with distinguishing material features are adopted to be injected into a transmissive region and a reflective region respectively. Consequently, the two separated regions filled with the LCD materials have identical electro-optical characteristics so as to implement an excellent single cell gap transflective LCD. The claimed subject matter uses a continuous manufacturing process, such as the steps of molding, printing, coating or the like, to reduce costs.
