  • Patent number: 8072403
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes sub-pixels each having a first display field and a second display field that both operate in a transmissive mode or both operate in a reflective mode. The first and second display fields of a sub-pixel are driven by a same driving device. The first and second display fields of a sub-pixel have different characteristics that cause liquid crystal layers in the first and second display fields to have different transmittances, the difference in transmittances of the first and second display fields being larger than a predetermined value.
