DISPLAY APPARATUS SWITCHABLE BETWEEN TRANSMISSIVE MODE AND REFLECTIVE MODE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display apparatus switchable between a transmissive mode and a reflective mode.

SOLUTION: In the display apparatus, including a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix shape, the pixels include a first substrate; a first polarizing plate provided on the first substrate, a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and the second substrates; a second polarizing plate disposed between the first and second substrates and reflecting or transmitting an outer light or inner light; a backlight unit disposed under the second polarizing plate and irradiated with an internal light and a light absorbing layer disposed under the backlight unit. The display apparatus has the reflective mode that uses outer light to display an image and the transmissive mode by utilizing the internal light to display the image.
