Abstract
The present invention in one aspect relates to a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising a plurality of pixels. Each pixel includes a first structure defining a reflective area and a transmissive area adjacent to the reflective area, a second structure positioned apart from the first structure to define a single cell gap therebetween, a liquid crystal layer positioned in the cell gap, and a plurality of electrodes formed on one of the first structure and the second structure such that at least two electrodes are positioned in the transmissive area and define a first distance, d, therebetween, and at least two electrodes are positioned in the reflective area and define a second distance, d, therebetween, where d>d, preferably, d=√{square root over (2)}d
