Transflective liquid crystal display device having first and second switching devices connecting a same data line and two different gate lines in each pixel
First Claim
1. A transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising a liquid crystal (LC) layer defining an array of pixels arranged in a matrix, each of said pixels including therein a reflective region and a transmissive region juxtaposed, wherein:
- each of said pixels includes a first pixel electrode in said reflective region, and a second pixel electrode in said transmissive region; and
each of said pixels is associated with a first switching device for coupling together said first electrode to and a data line supplying a data signal, and a second switching device for coupling together said second electrode and said data line, further comprising a first gate line for controlling said first switching devices and a second gate line for controlling said second switching devices, wherein said first and second switching devices are connected to said data line in common.

Abstract
An IPS-mode transflective LCD device includes an array of pixels each including a reflective region and a transmissive region juxtaposed. The reflective region operates in a normally-white mode, and the transmissive region operates in a normally-black mode. A common data signal is supplied to the reflective region and transmissive region, whereas the common electrode signal in the transmissive region is an inverted signal of the common electrode signal in the reflective region, to thereby obtain similar gray-scale levels.
