8.3: A Single Cell‐Gap Transflective Color TFT‐LCD by using Image‐Enhanced Reflector

The image quality of single cell gap transflective color TFT‐LCDs can be enhanced by building an image‐enhanced reflector above the transmissive region of liquid crystal cell, where both reflective and transmissive portions achieve high optical efficiency, same response time and color saturation. Furthermore, this transflective color TFTLCD requires only single retardation film, and can achieve ambient light and backlight utilization ratio to 68.4% and 23.9% respectively. With image‐enhanced reflector built in, a high image performance display under both bright and dark ambience can be accomplished.
