Patent ID: 7211457

Claim:
A method for constructing a transflective LCD panel comprising the steps: (a) forming first and second substrates; (b) fabricating a plurality of transparent first electrode layers on said first substrate in such a manner that each of said first electrode layers faces toward said second substrate; (c) fabricating at least one metal electrode layer on said first substrate so as to dispose said metal electrode layer between adjacent two of said first electrode layers; (d) forming a transparent second electrode layer on said second substrate to face said first substrate; (e) fabricating at least one spacer layer on said second electrode layer in alignment with said metal electrode layer; and (f) sandwiching a liquid crystal layer between said first and second electrode layers in such a manner that said first and second electrode layers cooperatively defines a transmission domain therebetween and that said metal electrode layer and said spacer layer cooperatively defines a reflective domain therebetween which is shorter than said transmission domain distance along a vertical line.
