  • Patent number: 7589805
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transflective liquid crystal display device that has a high contrast ratio. The transflective liquid crystal panel includes a homogeneous liquid crystal such that the transflective liquid crystal display device will have an optical retardation when the voltage is applied. Therefore, in order to compensate the optical retardation caused by this liquid crystal, a thickness of the liquid crystal layer is adjusted. Moreover, a thickness of the retardation film is also adjusted. Accordingly, the complete dark state and the high contrast ratio are achieved in the liquid crystal display.
