Abstract :
A single cell gap transflective liquid crystal display (TR-LCD) using dual fringing field switching mode is proposed, in which a positive dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal is vertically aligned and driven by fringing fields from both substrates. By optimizing the electrode width and gap of the transmissive and reflective regions, this TR-LCD exhibits a fast response time, high optical efficiency, single gamma curve, and wide viewing angle. Fast response time enables color sequential operation using red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes without noticeable color breakup. Potential application of this TR-LCD for sunlight readable mobile displays is emphasized.
