Patent ID: 8570467

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first substrate arranged with a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor; a second substrate arranged with a common electrode and a color filter and facing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first polarizing plate located at one side of the first substrate facing away from the second substrate; a second polarizing plate located at one side of the second substrate facing away from the first substrate; a cholesteric film on the first substrate, the cholesteric film comprising reflective layers adapted to reflect or transmit incident light as a function of a polarization direction and transmissive layers having a refractive index isotropy, the reflective lavers and the transmissive layers being positioned adjacent one another according to an alternating pattern on the thin film transistor; and a backlight unit located at one side of the first polarizing plate facing away from the first substrate.
