Patent ID: 6950158

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) device with a single cell gap, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposite thereto, wherein the transflective LCD device comprises a reflective region and a transmissive region; a plurality of first pixel electrodes and a plurality of second pixel electrodes on the first substrate, the first pixel electrodes in the reflective region and the second pixel electrodes in the transmissive region; a plurality of first common electrodes and a plurality of second common electrodes on an inner surface of the second substrate, the first common electrodes in the reflective region and the second common electrodes in the transmissive region; a vertically aligned liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein orientation of the vertically aligned liquid crystal layer is controlled by an electric field between the pixel and common electrodes; a first orientation control window having a slit width “S rc ” between the first common electrodes in an area corresponding to each first pixel electrode and dividing the liquid crystal layer into a plurality of orientation sections; and a second orientation control window having a slit width “S tc ” between the second common electrodes in an area corresponding to each second pixel electrode and dividing the liquid crystal layer into a plurality of orientation sections; wherein a relationship between S rc and S tc satisfies S rc <S tc .
