TRANSFLECTIVE LCD UNIT
First Claim
1. A transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) unit comprising:
- a liquid crystal (LC) layer;
first and second substrates sandwiching therebetween said LC layer to define an array of pixels in said LC layer, said pixels each including a reflective area and a transmissive area;
an electrode assembly for driving said LC layer such that said LC layer in said reflective area is driven in a longitudinal-electric-field mode and said LC layer in said transmissive area is driven in a lateral-electric-field mode; and
a reverse-tilt control member disposed in a vicinity of a boundary between said reflective area and said transmissive area for controlling a reverse tilt area in which a reverse tilt of LC molecules occurs in said LC layer.

Abstract
A transflective LCD unit includes a liquid crystal (LC) layer: first and second substrates sandwiching therebetween the LC layer to define an array of pixels each including a reflective area and a transmissive area; an electrode assembly for driving the LC layer such that the LC layer in the reflective area is driven in a longitudinal-electric-field mode and the LC layer in the transmissive area is driven in a lateral-electric-field mode; and a reverse-tilt control member for controlling a reverse tilt area in which a reverse tilt of LC molecules occurs near the boundary between the reflective area and the transmissive area.
