LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WITH SUB-PIXEL ZONES FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE

摘要

A LCD device with a pixel structure and a computing device with a display having the LCD device are disclosed. The LCD device includes a plurality of pixels for displaying visual content indoors and outdoors. The pixels in the LCD device include a transmissive sub-pixel zone with transmissive sub-pixels and a reflective sub-pixel zone with reflective sub-pixels. Each transmissive and reflective sub-pixel in the sub-pixel zones is connected to a MIP sub-pixel system and each sub-pixel zone may be individually controlled.

主权项

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, wherein each pixel of the plurality of pixels further comprises: a plurality of scan lines disposed along a first direction on a glass substrate; a plurality of signal lines disposed along a second direction on the glass substrate; a transmissive sub-pixel zone comprising a plurality of transmissive sub-pixels and a reflective sub-pixel zone comprising a plurality of reflective sub-pixels; a transmissive sub-pixel electrode disposed on the glass substrate within a respective transmissive sub-pixel; a reflective sub-pixel electrode disposed over the glass substrate within a reflective sub-pixel; a first memory-in-pixel (MIP) including a plurality of switch devices formed on the glass substrate and contained within the reflective sub-pixel for controlling the transmissive sub-pixel; and a second MIP including a plurality of switch devices formed on the glass substrate and contained within the reflective sub-pixel for controlling the reflective sub-pixel, wherein each of the transmissive sub-pixels and each of the reflective sub-pixels have geographic boundaries defined by the scan lines and the signal lines, wherein the first MIP is contained under the reflective sub-pixel electrode with a first switch device being associated with the transmissive sub-pixel, and wherein the second MIP is contained under the reflective sub-pixel electrode with a second switch device being associated with the reflective sub-pixel.
