1. A transflective liquid crystal display comprising:

  • a lower substrate and an upper substrate opposing each other;

    a plurality of pixel regions on the lower substrate;

    a thin film transistor having a silicon layer;

    a transparent electrode formed in the pixel region, wherein the transparent electrode is conductively connected to the thin film transistor; and

    a reflective electrode formed over a portion of the transparent electrode, wherein the reflective electrode is conductively connected to the same thin film transistor;

    wherein the overlap of the reflective electrode and the transparent electrode forms a reflective region and the non-overlapping region of the reflective electrode and the transparent electrode form a transmissive region; and

    the transparent electrode is a conductive silicon layer formed from the same layer as the silicon layer of the thin film transistor.
