Abstract: A dual-cell gap transflective LCD device comprises an upper substrate and a lower substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower substrates, a transmissive region and a reflective region, a first retardation plate disposed on the upper substrate, and a second retardation plate disposed on the lower substrate. The dual-cell gap transflective LCD device only utilizes two retardation plates, i.e. the first and second retardation plates, to compensate the phase difference of the light caused by the birefringence of the liquid crystal whereby obtaining a high contrast display in both the transmissive region and the reflective region.
