Abstract:
1. A multi-mode liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a plurality of sub-pixels, a sub-pixel in the plurality of sub-pixels comprising: a first polarizing layer with a first polarization axis; a second polarizing layer with a second polarization axis; a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer opposite to the first substrate layer, wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are interposed between the first polarizing layer and the second polarizing layer; a liquid crystal material between the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer; a first reflective layer adjacent to the first substrate layer, wherein the first reflective layer comprises at least one opening that forms in part a transmissive part of the sub-pixel and wherein a remainder of the first reflective layer forms in part a reflective part of the sub-pixel; a first filter of a first color opposite to and covering the transmissive part with a larger area than an area of the transmissive part; and a second filter of a second color opposite to and partially covering the reflective part, wherein the second color is different from the first color.
