Abstract:
1. A reflective liquid crystal display (LCD) of high aperture ration, high transmittance and wide viewing angle comprising: a lower substrate; an upper substrate opposed to the lower substrate and being separated therefrom by a selected first distance; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the lower and upper substrates comprising a plurality of liquid crystal molecules; a gate bus line and a data bus line formed on the lower substrate to define a pixel; a counter electrode having a first width and a pixel electrode having a second width formed at an inner surface of the lower substrate, wherein the counter and pixel electrodes are horizontally separated by a selected second distance to generate fringe field between the counter and pixel electrodes, a thin film transistor provided adjacent to an intersection of the gate bus line and the data bus line and transmitting a signal of the data bus line into the pixel electrode when the gate bus line is selected; a polarizing plate disposed at an outer surface of the upper substrate; a reflecting plate disposed at an outer surface of the lower substrate; and a quarter wave plate sandwiched between the reflecting plate and the lower substrate,
