Abstract

Aliquid crystal (LC) device switchable between the reflective and transmissive modes without sub-pixel division is proposed. By using dye-doped nematic LCs for the top LC layer, transflective displays with high reflectance were realized. It is expected that the proposed device can be applied to high-reflectance transflective devices for outdoor applications.
