Abstract
A new transflective nematic liquid crystal display is
presented. Unlike other transflective cells, almost the entire device area
is potentially available for either transmission of backlighting or reflection
of ambient illumination, providing efficient use of available light for the
desired application. The single cell-gap device does not require patterned
alignment layers or a patterned retarder but employs planar and interdigitated
electrodes. The number of electrical connections required makes the cell most
suitable for low information content displays. Simulations are used to make
comparisons with existing dual-gap and single-gap patterned alignment designs.
