Display device with transflective electrode
First Claim
1. A display device comprising a display panel with a first light-transmitting substrate provided with reflective material, a second light-transmitting substrate and an electro-optical material between said two substrates, characterized in that at the location of picture elements the reflective material is provided with at least one aperture, in that the display device is provided, on the side of the first substrate, with a light source emitting green light, and in that the apertures are situated at the location of green picture elements.

Abstract
A transflective color display having apertures in reflective electrodes through which light from a backlight (9) passes in the transmissive mode. The switching behavior for both the reflective and the transmissive mode is made identical by introducing a retardation plate (11). The transmission efficiency is further increased by using only a monochrome green mode in transmission.
