A multi- mode Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) capable of a multi-mode, a monochrome reflective mode and a color transmissive mode. One embodiment provides an LCD with color filters only over most or all of the transmissive part of a pixel but only part of the reflective portion of a pixel, enabling readability in ambient light. Embodiments eliminate the black matrix mask used typically in color filter creation. An embodiment provides diagonal pixels to improve resolution of the LCD in the color transmissive mode. Further, an embodiment enables the light to switch between two colors, while a third color (typically green) is always on, decreasing the required frame rate of the LCD, in the hybrid field sequential approach. Yet another embodiment creates colors from the back light, eliminating color filters. Another embodiment involves use of color filters over only the green pixels, eliminating additional masks for making the color filter array. |
