TRANSFLECTIVE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A transfiective display device, comprising an array of transmissive pixels (4a-4I; 204a-204d) and reflective pixels (12a-12d; 212); wherein the array comprises a different number of transmissive pixels (4a-4I; 204a-204d) compared to reflective pixels arranged such that the resolution of an image displayed in transmissive mode is different to the resolution of a corresponding image displayed in reflective mode. For example, the resolution of an image displayed in transmissive mode is greater than the resolution of a corresponding image displayed in reflective mode. In some embodiments each transmissive pixel (4a-4I) comprises a transmissive aperture (8) surrounded by a coloured reflective sub-pixel (6) and the device further comprises means for displaying different colours to the transmissive pixel (4a-4I) by colour sequential driving. In other embodiments, each transmissive pixel (204a-204d) comprises a plurality of differently coloured transmissive sub-pixels (203a-­203I).
