12. A liquid crystal display comprising:
-
a liquid crystal panel having a main display region and a sub-display region, the liquid crystal panel having first and second sides;
a backlight assembly positioned adjacent the first side of the liquid crystal panel, the backlight assembly being adapted to provide incident light onto the first side of liquid crystal panel;
a lower polarizer positioned intermediate the backlight assembly and the first side of the liquid crystal panel, the lower polarizer comprising a polarizing film for polarizing the incident light;
a reflective layer formed on the lower polarizer, wherein the reflective layer is positioned corresponding to the sub-display region; and
an upper polarizer positioned adjacent the second side of the liquid crystal panel, the upper polarizer being adapted to polarize incident light passing through the liquid crystal panel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26)
