Transflective mode liquid crystal display
First Claim
1. A transflective mode liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite each other and spaced apart a predetermined distance;
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of counter electrodes formed on the first substrate;
a color filter disposed on an inner surface of the second substrate, the color filter having a color resin layer, which comprises a transmission section and a reflection section; and
a transflective element disposed adjacent the first substrate;
wherein a brightness and a color saturation of light beams emitted from the transmission section are substantially the same as a brightness and a color saturation of light beams emitted from the reflection section.

Abstract
A transflective mode liquid crystal display (2) includes a first substrate (211) and a second substrate (210), a liquid crystal layer (230) interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes (213) and a plurality of counter electrodes (212) formed on the first substrate, a color filter (250) disposed on an inner surface of the second substrate, and a transflective element (271) disposed on the first substrate. The color filter has a color resin layer, which comprises a transmission section and a reflection section. Brightness and color saturation of light beams emitted from the transmission section are substantially the same as those of light beams emitted from the reflection section. Therefore, the transflective mode liquid crystal display has improved color and brightness characteristics.
