Black-white reflective cholesteric liquid crystal display was prepared with two color liquid crystal layers, the combination of yellow color liquid crystal and blue color liquid crystal. The rubbing of cholesteric liquid crystal panel affects the brightness and color spectrum due to increase the planar domain texture. The CIE chromaticity coordinate of white is (0.31, 0.31).

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.

Blue-white reflective cholesteric liquid crystal display was prepared by a unique method of single liquid crystal layer, the combination of yellow color liquid crystal and blue color backplane. The dopant and host combination of chlolesteric liquid crystal affects the color spectrum. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of blue and white are (0.10, 0.16) and (0.29, 0.30), respectively. The relatively low driving voltages of 32 V for blue-white display are obtained.

We have performed computer simulation to obtain electro-optic characteristics of reflective hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal displays (LCDs) driven by fringe field. The results show that the optimal retardation value (dΔn) of the cell is 0.289 ${\mu}$m, which allows for the cell to have a practical cell gap of larger than 3 ${\mu}$m when manufacturing. A reflectance of the dark state is only 0.114 % for an incident light 550 nm. At this condition, the light efficiency of white state reaches 92.7 %. The display with optimized cell parameters shows that the contrast ratio greater than 5 exists over 600 of polar angle in all directions and lower driving voltage than that of fringe-field driven homogeneously aligned reflective LCD.

In the paper, we investigated the Bragg reflective cholesteric display based on polymer stabilization. We studied the bistability in the polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) films and baused on which we achieved wider viewing angle though imperfect planar texture.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics of reflective $45^{\circ}$ twisted nematic liquid crystal display which implement the new LC orientation using of in-cell retarder film. For the embodiment of reflective liquid crystal display, essentially the optic compensation films was always needed and attached to the outside of glass substrate. In our study, these optic compensation film were not employed in reflective LC cell. On other hand we have employed the in-cell retarder to substitute the optic compensation film and were able to orient the LC molecules using this in-cell retarder. So we have developed the reflective LC cell that has good optical performances without any additional coating process on the in-cell retarder.

In liquid crystal displays, the display mode that represents initial liquid crystal alignment and method of applying voltage, mainly determines the image quality of display. Recently we have developed the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode exhibiting high image quality. In this paper, a pixel concept, manufacturing process, materials, and electro-optic characteristics of the FFS mode comparing with conventional in-plane switching mode, and its possible application to reflective type are discussed.

The electrooptic properties of the reflected light in a reflective mode, $45^{\circ}C$twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell were investigated in the voltage regions near and away from the Freedericksz transition threshold. The measured reflectivity away from the threshold voltage ($V_th$) could not be described by the model which assurnes a constant tilt angle as well as a linearized distribution of twist angle across the cell, although the data are well fitted near $V_th$. We found that in the voltage region away from $V_th$, the model considering the distributions of the tilt angle and the twist angle should be applied for the calculation of the reflectivity. The director-axis distributions were obtained from the numerical integration of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

This paper proposes a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) in a whole-pixel switchable configuration with a high aperture ratio using an electrophoretic particle layer (EPL). The switchable transflective LCD consisted of the liquid crystal layer as a display unit, and the EPL as a switchable mirror. The switching of the EPL between the mirror for the reflective mode and the transparency for the transmissive mode was performed by controlling electrophoretic nanoparticles with an applied voltage in a three-electrode structure. The single pixel was used as the whole transmissive or reflective mode that corresponded to the switchable EPL mirror. Thus, a transflective LCD with a high aperture ratio was obtained.

A dual-cell-gap transflective liquid crystal display (TR-LCD) with identical response time in the transmissive and reflective regions is demonstrated. In the transmissive region, strong anchoring energy condition is used to decrease the response time, while in the reflective region weak anchoring energy condition is used to increase the response time. The simulated dual-cell-gap TR-LCD has good performances.
