Patent ID: 7782427

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal device, comprising: a pixel electrode on a first substrate with a plurality of first openings for forming multi-domains within a reflective part and a transmitting part of a pixel region; a reflective sheet within only the reflective part of the pixel region; a common electrode on a second substrate facing the first substrate with a plurality of second openings within only the reflective part of the pixel region for inducing a fringe field in the pixel region; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, wherein the reflective and transmitting parts have the same cell gap including projections to form multi-domains, and the transmitting part has the operation properties of a retardation value (Δnd)=λ/2 and the reflective part has the operation properties of retardation value (Δnd)=λ/4 by the fringe field, wherein the Δn is a retracted index of the liquid crystal layer, and the n is a cell gap between the first and second substrates.
