Abstract: An LCD array substrate for a transflective-type LCD includes an E-field reflecting section formed under a transmitting window that reflects light when an electric field is applied. A gate line, a gate electrode and a transparent electrode are formed on a substrate. A channel layer between source and drain electrodes and an E-field reflecting layer are formed on the gate electrode and the transparent electrode, respectively. Portions of a protecting layer are removed to form a contact hole disposed over the drain electrode, and a light-transmitting hole over the E-field reflecting layer. A pixel electrode that is electrically connected to the drain electrode through the contact hole, makes contact with the E-field reflecting layer through the light-transmitting hole.

Abstract: A display panel assembly capable of improving image display quality and a display apparatus having the display panel, wherein the display panel assembly includes a display panel and a transflective member. The display panel includes two substrates and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the two substrates. The transflective member is disposed under the display panel to transmit a backlight toward a front of the display panel and to reflect a front light having passed through the display panel back toward the front of the display panel. Therefore, the front light is partially reflected by the transflective member to increase a luminance of the display apparatus, thereby improving the image display quality.
