Abstract:
1. A transflective liquid crystal display, comprising: gate and data lines crossing each other and defining a plurality of unit pixels, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixel regions, each of the sub-pixel regions including a transmissive portion and a reflective portion, the transmissive portions gathered together within each unit pixel; a thin film transistor in each sub-pixel region near a crossing of one of the gate and data lines adjacent to the sub-pixel region; a passivation layer covering the thin film transistors and the gate and data lines, the passivation layer having openings that correspond to the transmissive portions in the unit pixels; a reflector formed over the passivation layer in each sub-pixel region, the reflector corresponding in position to the reflective portion; a pixel electrode in each sub-pixel region, the pixel electrode contacting the thin film transistor through a contact hole in the passivation layer.
