Patent ID: 8830426

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel comprising: a reflective part, comprising: first portions of a first retardation film, a first polarizing layer, a bottom substrate layer, a top substrate layer, and a common electrode portion, wherein the top substrate layer is opposite to the bottom substrate layer; a reflective layer adjacent to the bottom substrate layer; a reflective-part liquid crystal layer portion of a liquid crystal layer between the bottom substrate layer and the top substrate layer; a transmissive part, comprising: second portions of the first retardation film, the first polarizing layer, the bottom substrate layer, the top substrate layer, and the common electrode portion; a transmissive-part liquid crystal layer portion of the liquid crystal layer between the bottom substrate layer and the top substrate layer; wherein the first retardation film comprises a first slow axis tilted with a first elevation angle with respect to a surface of the first substrate layer, wherein the first elevation angle is in a range of 0.5 to 85 degrees; wherein the first retardation film and the first liquid crystal layer portion form a wideband quarter-wave plate in the voltage-off state.
