There are provided an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device and a fabrication method of the in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device which has a low pretilt angle by applying a three-electrode structure to an in-plane switching display and mixing a photocurable polymer into an alignment film by a rubbing process, and includes: an upper substrate having an upper plate conductive electrode; a lower substrate having a lower plate conductive electrode and a pattern electrode formed on the lower plate conductive electrode with an insulating layer therebetween; the liquid crystal layer disposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate; and an alignment film formed on the upper substrate having the upper plate conductive electrode and the lower substrate having the pattern electrode and configured to align liquid crystals in an in-plane manner.

In-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device and fabrication method thereof

A display apparatus includes a first display panel with a plurality of first pixels, a second display panel facing the first display panel and having a plurality of second pixels, a light reflective polarizer, and a backlight unit. The light reflective polarizer is interposed between the first and second display panels to transmit light polarized in a first direction, and reflect light polarized in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The backlight unit is arranged proximate to the second display panel to supply light to the first and second display panels. The first display panel displays an image by using reflected ambient light, and the second display panel displays an image by using light from the backlight unit.

Display operable in both reflective and transmissive modes
