Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal provided between a first layer and a second layer. The first layer and the second layer may be in a substantially parallel direction to each another. Spacers may be provided in the liquid crystal to keep the first layer and the second layer spaced apart from each other. Electrode layers may include structural elements operable to prevent the spacers from moving through the liquid crystal in the substantially parallel direction. The display may include a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer having one or more gaps defining an electrode structure including electrodes to control the display.

Abstract: A transflective display device has a color filter portion for each pixel which includes portions of two different thicknesses. In one implementation, both thicknesses are used for the reflective part of the pixel, and the relative thicknesses as well as the proportion of different thickness layers can be controlled to enable independent control of the color filtering characteristics in the reflective and transmissive modes of operation. Another implementation uses different portions of light absorbing material for the functions of pixel definition and height adjustment, but these may be achieved with a single patterned layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite which comprises a substrate, especially an ultra-thin substrate with a thickness of less than 0.3 mm, and a carrier substrate, with the substrate being detachably connected at least indirectly with the carrier substrate. The composite in accordance with the invention is characterized in that a spacer layer with recesses is introduced between substrate and carrier substrate, with the recesses being provided at least in the surface of the spacer layer which faces the substrate.
