  • Patent number: 10902815
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a reflective liquid crystal display panel and a panel driver configured to generate a driving voltage to drive the reflective liquid crystal display panel. The panel driver generates grayscale voltages having a voltage level between a first voltage and a second voltage based on a driving voltage-reflection ratio property in which a reflection ratio increases when the driving voltage increases to the first voltage and the reflection ratio decreases when the driving voltage increases from the first voltage to the second voltage.

  • Patent number: 10871667
    Abstract: A display substrate has first and second conductive layers separated from one another by an insulation layer. The first and second conductive layers are used to integrally form on the display substrate, pixel units in a relatively central display area of the substrate and integrated gate driving circuitry as well as associated wirings thereof in one or more peripheral areas. The first and second conductive layers are covered by a first protection layer made of a first electrically insulative material. A second and supplementing protection layer is provided on top of the first protection layer. The supplementing protection layer (buffer layer) is formed of a material different from that of the first protection layer so as to provide supplemental resistance against corrosive chemical agents and supplemental resistance against formation of cracks.
