Description
Summary:We propose vertically aligned liquid crystal cell structures with image-enhanced reflectors for transflective displays. Liquid crystal (LC) molecules are aligned vertically so that an excellent dark state can be achieved. Wide-band quarter-wave design is employed to realize broad spectral characteristics over the entire range of visible wavelengths. The display performance in the transmissive mode can be markedly improved compared with that of homogeneous cells.
