The Development of New Reflective LCDs with High Performance

Various technologies for new reflective LCDs with high performance are reviewed in this paper. Among of them, reflective STN-LCDs with single polarizor, novel single polarizor reflective LCDs based upon R-IPS mode and VA(vertical aligned) mode reflective color TFT-LCDs are discussed comprehensively. In addition, some new technologies which are under developed for the moment are also introduced briefly, including single polorizor reflective AF-LCDs (Antiferroelectric LCD) and reflective LCDS with none polorizor. Finally, we research the method to optimize the reflective LCDs.
