    Abstract

    A wide-view transflective liquid-crystal display (LCD) capable of switching between transmissive and reflective modes in response to different ambient-light conditions is proposed. This transflective LCD adopts a single-cell-gap multi-domain vertical-alignment (MVA) cell that exhibits high contrast ratio, wide-viewing angle, and good light transmittance (T) and reflectance (R). Under proper cell optimization, a good match between the VT and VR curves can also be obtained for single-gamma-curve driving.
