Abstract
A transflective liquid crystal display device that can selectively be used in the transmissive mode or the reflective mode. The transflective liquid crystal panel includes a reflective electrode having a transparent portion, a CLC color filter and a CLC polarizer. Light from a backlight device can pass through the transparent portion of the reflective electrode and into the liquid crystal. Moreover, light from the backlight device that is reflected by the reflective electrode can also pass through the transparent portion and into the liquid crystal without being absorbed by the CLC polarizer. The brightness of the transflective LCD device is thus improved.
