  • Patent number: 7289175
    Abstract: A transflective liquid crystal display comprising an active device array substrate, a facing substrate, a liquid crystal layer and a reflector. The liquid crystal molecules in the transparent area are driven by a potential between the transparent pixel electrode and the common electrode. The liquid crystal molecules in the reflective area are driven by a potential between the transparent pixel electrode and the active device array substrate or the auxiliary electrode on the facing substrate. Under the condition of a single cell gap, the electric field applied to the transparent area and the reflective area can control the change in effective phase so as to optimize the performance.

  • Publication number: 20060139527
    Abstract: A method of displaying balanced chromatic images for a liquid crystal display (LCD) device with a transmissive display mode and a reflective display mode. The LCD device generates an output image in the transmissive mode with a first white output signal Wo, whereby the brightness increases of red, green and blue, the saturations of which are not decreased from an input image. The LCD device generates an output image in the reflective mode with a second white output signal Wo?, whereby the brightness increases of red, green and blue, the hues of which are not decreased from an input image, but the saturations of which decrease. The first white output signal Wo in the transmissive mode is different from the second white output signal Wo? in the reflective mode.
