Abstract:
1. A multi-mode Liquid Crystal display, comprising: a light source for illuminating the multi-mode display; a first polarizer for aligning the plane of polarization of light from the light source to a first plane; a second polarizer for aligning the plane of polarization of the light from the light source to a pre-defined second plane; a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate and the second substrate being interposed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer; and a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels being positioned at the first substrate, each of the plurality of pixels comprising a reflective part and a transmissive part, wherein the reflective part has only part of a color filter, and at least part of the transmissive part comprises one or more color-filters that mostly or completely cover the transmissive part of the pixel; wherein the reflective part is configured for monochrome reflectance; wherein the reflective part comprises a first reflective area covered with the color filter and a second reflective area not covered with the color filter, and wherein the first reflective area is smaller than the second reflective area.
