Abstract
We have proposed a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by the fringe field using a liquid crystal (LC) with a negative dielectric anisotropy. The device used different twist angles of the liquid crystals (LC) in the transmissive (T) and the reflective (R) regions when voltage is applied. With the optimization of the pixel electrode width and the distance between them, the LC directors in the R- and T-regions can be rotated by about $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ on an average, respectively. As a result, a high image quality transflective LCD with a single gap, a single gamma, and a wide viewing angle characteristics in both the R- and T- regions can be realized.
