Patent ID: 8330901

Claim:
A transflective display device, comprising: a backlight module for emitting a backlight; an electrophoretic device disposed on the backlight module, the electrophoretic device comprising: a first substrate comprising at least a pixel region, wherein the pixel region has a device region and a display region; a second substrate disposed oppositely to the first substrate; an electrophoretic layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the electrophoretic layer comprising a transparent fluid and a plurality of opaque charged particles; and a collector, a gate electrode, and a plurality of transparent electrodes disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the collector and the gate electrode are disposed in the device region, and the plurality of transparent electrodes are disposed in the display region; and a liquid crystal panel disposed on the electrophoretic device; wherein in a transflective mode, a portion of the transparent electrodes is covered with the opaque charged particles for reflecting an ambient light, and the backlight passes through the transparent electrodes uncovered by the opaque charged particles to reach the liquid crystal panel.
