Abstract

A novel single cell gap transflective liquid crystal display was developed. By using the ink jet printing technology, we fabricated a transflective liquid crystal display with the hybrid alignment in the reflective region and the homogeneous alignment in the transmission region. Compared with the traditional technologies, our technology provided the advantages of easy process, high yield, fast throughput, and less material usage. We also applied this technology to the 2.4 inch prototype. This panel could be implemented in the handheld product applications.
