Abstract:
A transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising:a liquid crystal panel including: a) a first substrate having a color filter; b) a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate, having a switching element, a reflective electrode, a data line, a gate line and a pixel electrode, the reflective electrode having at least one transmitting hole and reflecting ambient light, the transmitting hole transmitting light and being covered by the pixel electrode, the reflective electrode and the pixel electrode being electrically insulated from each other, the reflective electrode overlapping a portion of the data line, and the pixel electrode overlapping a portion of the gate line, wherein a portion of the reflective electrode not overlapping the pixel electrode is driven by a parallel electric field, and a portion of the reflective electrode overlapping the pixel electrode is driven by a vertical electric field; and c) a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower substrates; and a back light device providing light toward the transmitting hole.
