Abstract :
Two single-cell-gap transflective display devices with vertically aligned positive dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal driven by horizontal electric fields are proposed. In these displays, patterned reflectors are located at transmittance-inefficient regions to serve as reflective mode. These displays exhibit fast response time, high transmittance, and wide view with optical compensation. Potential applications of these displays for sunlight readable mobile devices are emphasized.
