A transflective liquid crystal display panel, the display panel operable in a transmissive mode, a reflective mode and a transflective mode and comprising: a backlight (108, 208, 308, 708) configured to be switched off when the display panel is operated in the reflective mode and configured to be switched on when the display panel is operated in the transmissive or transflective mode; a sensor configured to measure a level of ambient light entering the display panel, wherein the backlight is controlled to be switched off to operate the display panel in the reflective mode if the measured level of ambient light equals a predetermined light emission level of the switched-on backlight, or is within a predetermined percentage range thereof; an array (418, 518, 618) of transflective pixels (416, 516, 616) each including an array of six transflective sub-pixels (410, 510, 610, 710a-f) aligned in two rows and three columns; a color filter substrate with an array of dichroic color filter elements (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b, 310a, 310b) aligned corresponding to the array of sub-pixels, each of the dichroic color filter elements being configured to transmit a transmissive color and to reflect a reflective color, the reflective color being the complement of the transmissive color, wherein the six dichroic color filter elements associated with each pixel include a pair of red-reflecting and cyan-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a first one of the three columns, a pair of green-reflecting and magenta-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a second one of the three columns, and a pair of blue-reflecting and yellow-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a third one of the three columns, so that, in each column, the color of light transmitted by one of its dichroic color filter elements is complementary to the color of light transmitted by the other one of its dichroic color filter elements, and so that the color of light reflected by said one of its dichroic color filter elements is complementary to the color of light reflected by the other one of its dichroic color filter elements, the color filter substrate thereby transmitting light of transmissive colors when the display panel is operated in the transmissive or transflective mode, and, from substantially the same area in the color filter substrate, reflecting light of the same reflective colors when the display panel is operated in the reflective mode. a backlight (108, 208, 308, 708) configured to be switched off when the display panel is operated in the reflective mode and configured to be switched on when the display panel is operated in the transmissive or transflective mode; a sensor configured to measure a level of ambient light entering the display panel, wherein the backlight is controlled to be switched off to operate the display panel in the reflective mode if the measured level of ambient light equals a predetermined light emission level of the switched-on backlight, or is within a predetermined percentage range thereof; an array (418, 518, 618) of transflective pixels (416, 516, 616) each including an array of six transflective sub-pixels (410, 510, 610, 710a-f) aligned in two rows and three columns; a color filter substrate with an array of dichroic color filter elements (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b, 310a, 310b) aligned corresponding to the array of sub-pixels, each of the dichroic color filter elements being configured to transmit a transmissive color and to reflect a reflective color, the reflective color being the complement of the transmissive color, wherein the six dichroic color filter elements associated with each pixel include a pair of red-reflecting and cyan-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a first one of the three columns, a pair of green-reflecting and magenta-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a second one of the three columns, and a pair of blue-reflecting and yellow-reflecting dichroic color filter elements arranged in a third one of the three columns, so that, in each column, the color of light transmitted by one of its dichroic color filter elements is complementary to the color of light transmitted by the other one of its dichroic color filter elements, and so that the color of light reflected by said one of its dichroic color filter elements is complementary to the color of light reflected by the other one of its dichroic color filter elements, the color filter substrate thereby transmitting light of transmissive colors when the display panel is operated in the transmissive or transflective mode, and, from substantially the same area in the color filter substrate, reflecting light of the same reflective colors when the display panel is operated in the reflective mode.
