Abstract

We have designed novel transreflective liquid crystal displays which utilize dielectric mirrors. The reflective and transmissive modes are operated in different wavelength regions. The displays have the advantages: (1) the brightness as a function of applied voltage is the same for both modes, (2) the backlight and ambient light are utilized efficiently.
